Catch the Sun

Catch the Sun is a ‘poetry on the road’ book. It combines poetry and prose, inspired by the countries Luc Zwaenepoel worked in and traveled to, with a flavor of diverse cultures and encounters. In this intimate collection, poems and prose dance together like seasoned partners born out of footsteps that have crossed continents and cultures. Each verse carries whispers from distant shores. Here, poetry serves as both a compass and a mirror, navigating the author's transformative journey while reflecting the kaleidoscope of human experience. Immersed in diverse traditions, these words map out the delicate geography where cultural uniqueness meets universal truth. In each culture, the Word stands sentinel at life's crucial crossroads. Its rhythms bless newborns, consecrate marriages, celebrate triumphs, and honor departures. Poetry remains our faithful companion through life's sacred passages, speaking in that universal language that needs no translation—the language of the human heart.
