By Alexander Paul Burton
A poetic, philosophical, and powerfully human reflection on queerness in a world that celebrates and resists it in equal measure.
In A-Z Of Being Gay In A World Which Also Wants To Be Gay (or Not), writer and musician Alexander Paul Burton offers a raw and lyrical exploration of identity, belonging, and the contradictions of queerness. Each letter of the alphabet becomes a gateway into themes such as estrangement, chosen family, success, and solitude—woven together with poetry, prose, and deeply personal insight.
Burton’s reflections are unflinching, capturing the paradox of visibility: the liberation of being seen, and the exhaustion of constantly explaining yourself. From the quiet ache of losing family to the loud joy of finding community, this book is a meditation on the tension between acceptance and rejection, pride and doubt, movement and stillness.
Illustrated and written entirely by Burton, A-Z is more than a collection of reflections—it’s a love letter to the queer experience, and to anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds.
Soulful. Abstract. Honest.
This is a book for anyone who has ever lived in translation, and dared to thrive.
