The Tragedy of Photons and Other Poems of Tragedy and Light

In The Tragedy of Photons, Tony Daly crafts a constellation of speculative poetry, in which tragedy meets transcendence at the speed of light. Daly's poems orbit themes of loss, resilience, absurdity, and wonder. These verses are both intimate and cosmic-anchored in human emotion and adrift in zero gravity. Whether elegizing forgotten android heroes, chronicling the heartbreak of planetary exiles, or capturing the last glimmer of light in a collapsing universe, this chapbook illuminates the beauty found in even the briefest glow. The Tragedy of Photons invites you to see the universe, and yourself, through a kaleidoscope of tragedy and light.
