Here we present the first published collection of poetry from Tāmaki-makau-rau/Auckland based Queer poet Edwin Z. Canary (he/they). From the title poem "Le Tournesol" ("The Sunflower"), a blinding light shines in the eyes of the author, but is it just a dream - a nightmare? to "Heavy is the Head that wears the Crown" an ode to the late Queen Elizabeth II; the collection is an eclectic mix of poems which covers the author's descent into depression and anxiety, dealing with grief, finding love, and being happy in their skin.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Edwin Z. Canary (he/they) is an early 30-something Queer poet based in Tāmaki-makau-rau/Auckland, with their husband; and with their cat, Thomas. Edwin's poetry is an expression of living with mental health issues, melancholia, uncertainty; as well as finding love, and the beauty in nature. An amateur historian, Edwin specialises in the Victorian era; taking inspiration from the æsthetic of the time; their love of nature, fascination with death, and the dark.
