A-Z of an Expat's Life Abroad: A poetic, philosophical, and powerfully human reflection on life live

A poetic, philosophical, and powerfully human reflection on life lived between borders.

In A-Z of an Expat's Life Abroad, writer and musician Alexander Paul Burton offers a searingly honest meditation on identity, estrangement, and belonging. With each letter of the alphabet serving as a lyrical gateway into themes such as home, memory, family, queerness, and migration, Burton weaves poetry, prose, and deeply personal insight into a narrative both intimate and universal.

Written and illustrated entirely by the author-whose work spans continents and art forms-this book is more than a collection of reflections. It is a love letter to the lonely, the wandering, and those reinventing themselves far from where they began. Whether you're an immigrant, expat, artist, or soul in search of meaning, A-Z invites you to see the world-and yourself-anew.

From the cruelty of being misunderstood to the quiet miracle of building chosen family, Burton captures the paradox of movement: the things we lose, and the selves we find.

Illustrated. Soulful. Raw. And ultimately hopeful.
This is a book for anyone who has ever lived in translation.
