Track & Trace

Zachariah Wells: Zachariah Wells is the author of Unsettled, a collection of poems about his experiences in the Canadian Arctic. He is also a freelance critic and editor and edited Jailbreaks: 99 Canadian Sonnets.

Zach Wells has built on "an aesthetic generally characterized by an assertive (even, at times, severe) approach to metre that is enhanced by an ardent attention to sonic effects like alliteration, syncopation, rhyme, etc., and his control over such a severe metre is both admirable and remarkable."&#8212Paul Vermeersch "Everything poetry should be: reflective and linguistically aware, imagistic, connected to human emotion and experience. But, wait, I forgot, delightful."&#8212Freefall "Within each poem, the words fit together in surprising ways, with subtle rhyme, rhythm and alliteration... There are layers to these poems, unexpected things beneath the surface."&#8212Pickle Me This
