Kaleidoscope of Change- A-Z Of An Expat's Life Abroad - Spoken Word Poetry for Expats/Migrants about Home

I stand, fractured,

shards of self reflected in the glass,

and the world shifts,

turns into something new.

 - 

A broken compass,

finding its way again.

Each step echoes,

but where do the pieces fall?

 - 

Home is a mirror,

and here, I see only the fragments,

kaleidoscope eyes,

looking back at me,

different,

but still searching.

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.
