Zachary Schomburg is the author of six books of poems, all published by Black Ocean. He is also the author of a novel, Mammother, and he is an illustrator, painter, and publisher of the independent poetry press Octopus Books. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with B and Y.
"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"" 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"""
