Plastic Sunlight

Plastic Sunlight is a journey through the sharp edges and soft spaces of being alive.

In poems that move between dream and memory, Maryanna Anderson confronts childhood trauma, addiction, mental illness, and the ghosts of the past with unflinching clarity. But within the darkness, there is beauty—glimpses of light that flicker through grief, moments of stillness, joy, and quiet revenge.

This is a collection about surviving the storm and learning to see the glow in even the most artificial light.

In twilight’s hush, a tome lies still,
“A Ghostly Echo in the Lonely Dream,”
Its pages soft, where shadows spill,
And whispered verses gently scheme.

Each line, a spectral sigh of time,
A mournful dance through realms unseen,
In every word, a ghostly rhyme,
A trace of what might have been.
