Light Zachary draws power from a vision of life—especially queer and neurodivergent life—as a journey of continuous self-realisation. These poems record the experience of locating oneself over and over again, within gender, language, family, labour, sexuality, fear, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaching 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese poems propose a certain supremacy: in these unending journeys of discovery and alienation, \"we become more sure of who we are than you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431656014060,"sku":"9781551529172","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781551529172.jpg?v=1774557427"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/a-light-zachary.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
