Fjords Vol.1 - Paperback
by Zachary Schomburg (Author)
As one of the most exciting new voices in American poetry, Zachary Schomburg's previous books have enthralled thousands of readers with surreal landscapes populated by gorillas in people clothes, jaguars, plagues of hummingbirds, and even Abraham Lincoln. His poems have inspired art installations, shadow puppetry, rock albums, and string quartets. In Fjords, Schomburg inhabits the icy landscape, walking among all his little deaths as he explores the narrow inlets between the transcendent and the mundane. These are poems to be read by torchlight or with no light at all. As Schomburg explains, There is so much blood in the trees. It will be easy to fall in love like this.
Zachary Schomburg is the author of 6 books of poems, all published by Black Ocean, including most recently, Fjords vol. 2. A novel, Mammother, was published by Featherproof Books in 2017. He is also an illustrator, painter, and publisher of an independent poetry press, Octopus Books. He lives in Portland, OR.
