A luminous and haunting story-poem, with moments of humour and poignant longing studding the ebb and flow of its tides; the words and images linger long after reading, like the memory of seeing the northern lights or a comet.

–Victoria Goddard, Author of The Bone Harp

 

Galaxies and Storms and Airways Above Her is a mesmerizing journey through the cosmos, where Allerlei navigates the celestial realms with grace and curiosity. Each poem sets the scene for the one that follows, and each can be read as a standalone. Burning like a comet through the dark, Allerlei embraces ties across gender and being, intertwining voices in song, in rhythm with the cosmos. This collection of poems invites readers to explore the ethereal beauty of the universe and the profound connections that bind us all.

–Valerie Twyman, Poet and Writer

What comes after the coming-of-age?

Galaxies and Storms and Airways Above Her is an exploration of the self and other, the self and lineage, and the self as other. Drawing on the teachings of multiple lineages, poet Kwame Sound Daniels weaves a tale of discovery and home from the perspective of a wanderer descended from a sapphic and nomadic alien race. Throughout a narrative in free verse, the central figure Allerlei cycles through familiar and unfamiliar places in a search for meaning among various loves for people, place, and memory.
