Fjords Vol.2
"The thing about killing is, like everything else, it feels as bright as love for just a flash." The second volume in Zachary Schomburg's Fjords series of evocative prose poetry, this is a collection that engages with dreams and a complicated and ever-evolving relationship with death. These poems bring together vivid and unexpected imagery--"a tiny light-pink fruit fly, the hot breath of a bear"--while pulling you deep into the mind of Schomburg, where thoughts like "finding a pair of scissors on the moon, or when I die, noticing my death notice me" are just part of the life that inhabits the inlets of the imagination.

Praise for this book
When I got it home, I immediately devoured it, and found it so painfully sad, so beautifully made, so original and funny and insightful and so even better than anything else he's ever written, that I kind of wanted to just give up writing and buy a hundred copies of this book and hand it out instead, everywhere I go.--Christopher Newgent, Vouched Books, on Fjords Vol. 1--Christopher Newgent "Vouched Books"
Schomburg's newest book, Fjords, Vol. 1 holds true to this idea of finding familiarity in a parallel consciousness. Just because the poems often work in a seemingly private dreamscape, doesn't mean you aren't invited to into the strangeness, asked to ascend and descend into the illusory.--Kelly Forsythe, The Rumpus, on Fjords Vol. 1--Kelly Forsythe "The Rumpus"
