New Poetry Book, ‘a Shaft of Light,’ from Author and Filmmaker Ann Huang Now Available for Purchase

Author, poet, and experimental filmmaker, Ann Huang, is pleased to announce the release of her newest book of surrealist poems, a Shaft of Light.

a Shaft of Light is a poetry collection about nostalgia. The overarching story touches on dissipation and dis-appropriation of human synergies with regard to geopolitical and technological upheavals. Readers are encouraged to look back at the extinction of dinosaurs, a time when the earth faced its greatest loss. The question is: Are we next?

Leslie Ullman, author of Library of Small Happiness, describes the book as being “inhabited by a shapeshifting ‘you,’ who is sometimes the speaker, sometimes an intimate other, and sometimes, perhaps, figures mentioned along the way.”
