Here we present the first published collection of poetry from Tamaki-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.
