Penguins Fly: A Queer Tale, Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781997770114)

In Penguins Fly, Teren Hazzard's sweet, witty, narrative poetry collection, we meet Canadian University student Bill as he fights against the "cis-tem" working against him.

Bill never thought that being transgender would interfere with his plans to become a penguin-ologist (or is it flightless ornithologist?). He studies hard in school, is the perfect employee at the aquarium gift shop, and was even offered a reference letter for the aquarium's highly selective summer internship. Things were going great-especially when he started falling for the cute artist working at the local Timmies.

But coming out to the world comes with unforeseen consequences. When his professor revokes his reference letter, Bill must decide if being authentic to himself is worth losing his internship.

All Bill wants is to study penguins and be himself. Penguins Fly shares how he fights for both.
