Zachary Asher is the author of a previous poetry collection, Scarlight (Ravenna Press, 2014). He has an MFA in Creative Writing from Vanderbilt University, where he was a founding editor of Nashville Review. Today he lives and teaches in Los Angeles.

"Zachary Asher's second collection, gone bird in the glass hours, is a play in verse, featuring seven voices. Its opening act introduces readers to a young Rabbi, bewildered and bent by personal grief, while still trying to lead his congregation. The Rabbi is guided and beguiled by another figure, the elusive Blue Postman, who shepherds the Rabbi through his journey through "the glass hours.""--
