Zywicki Aleksander’s Zounds! – Paperback Edition

Description

Barrow Street Books, paperback

Publication Date: October 15, 2025

Publisher Marketing: Aleks Zywicki’s ZOUNDS! is a meditative exploration of a lifelong relationship with God, religion, and devotion. “Zounds” is a contraction combining “God’s” and “wounds,” an early modern exclamation that often edges towards blasphemy, and a literal evocation of Christ’s crucifixion wounds. In these poems of family, love, and longing, ZOUNDS! also captures the experience of sonic and existential rupture, the wounds sustained in an enduring struggle with faith.
