About the collection:
The book is a existential queer poetry collection that uses the writing Thus, Spoke Zarathustra as a way of paralleling the souls journey. Filled with lyrical, abstract, surreal, and confessional writing There was Histrionic Laughter at the Clowns Cadaver is an incredibly unique collection. Both polarizing and transcendent.
From the Author's Website:
The debut poetry collection arrived on November 13th, Friday the 13th. Organized based on the souls journey as described in Nietzsche’s: ‘Thus, Spoke Zarathustra’ this collection is much less a simple collection of poems and more so an emotional odyssey. Written over the span of four years it documents the lessons I’ve learned and realizations I have made all the while trying to heal from trauma and search for meaning despite the sheer futility doing so seems to offer. The primary thesis of ‘Thus, Spoke Zarathustra’ is that the only effective response to a meaningless existence is laughter. I cannot say that existence is meaningless, but I will say that laughter certainly has helped me along the way.
About the Poet:
N. Alexsander Sidirov was born in the frigid landscape of Siberia. As a small child, he was adopted from Sosnovoborsk and moved from one of the coldest places on Earth to one of the hottest: Arizona. From his new home in Arizona, he began to explore the world of writing at the tender age of seven and found that the more he put pen to paper, the broader his vision became.
He began experimenting with using his life experiences as fuel for his literary fire by writing short stories. Even then, Sidirov enjoyed infusing his writing with the heartbeats of his identity and themes of his life, like his adoption journey, sexuality, loneliness, individuality, and neurodiversity.
It was in college that Sidirov turned his creative eye from penning short stories to practicing poetry. After six years perfecting his craft, Sidirov decided to capture his unique view of the world in his debut poetry collection, There was Histrionic Laughter at the Clowns Cadaver, which, like all his writings, strives to change the way society views the world and liberate the creative process from the confines of social and literary conformity.
When not writing, Sidirov enjoys learning new languages, watching vintage cartoons, and most of all filing disputes with the credit bureau.
We're looking for guest post, interview and review blog stops that begin as early as February, but also through March and April.
