byA. Light Zachary

A book of poems and augmentations, recording instances of love, self-realization, and recovery in non-binary, queer, and autistic lives.  In their stunning debut collection, A. Light Zachary draws power from a vision of life―especially queer and neurodivergent life―as a journey of continuous self-realization. These poems record the experience of locating oneself over and over again, within gender, language, family, labour, sexuality, fear, and love.   Reaching back to claim queer space in the oldest Western canon, Zachary interrupts famous quotations from ancient Greek and Roman thinkers, asking: what advice might Juvenal or Seneca have handed down to non-binary citizens? Elsewhere, in concise and fluid verses that draw from punk rock and quantum physics, they ground the work firmly in the present. Come: invade the alien. Evade with the coyote. These poems propose a certain supremacy: in these unending journeys of discovery and alienation, “we become more sure of who we are than you.” This publication meets the EPUB Accessibility requirements and it also meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG-AA).

About Poetry

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” This quote by Anton Chekov illustrates the heart of the poetry genre: an ability to show rather than tell. Poetry expresses a range of feelings and emotions touching on both light and dark, joy and sadness, anger and peace. It offers social commentary in compactness of expression and can be short and punchy or lengthy and profound. Like music, it’s got rhythm whether it’s a Shakespearean sonnet in iambic pentameter, a nursery rhyme, an epic story, or free verse, Alexander Pope, Robert Frost. Emily Dickinson. Maya Angelou. Sylvia Plath. These are some great examples of well-known poets. Add contemporary sensations like Alicia Cook and Rupi Kaur and you can see how poetry continues to be a vital art form. Some bestselling poetry books online are Dante's Inferno, The Iliad of Homer, The Sun and Her Flowers, and Sorry I Haven’t Texted You Back. These titles will move you in unexpected ways. Dive in and see where a new poetry volume takes you.
