| Summary: | A book of poems and interruptions, 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, labor, 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 with 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." |
