Author’s Tranquility Press Presents Asty’s Poetry on Fire, a Collection Rooted in Working-Class Language, Migration and Everyday Life

MARIETTA, GA – November 11, 2026 – Author’s Tranquility Press presents Poetry on Fire by Asty, a poetry collection that favors everyday language while still leaning on metaphor, imagery and figurative expression.

Asty writes closer to conversation than lecture. Street talk, familiar routines, romance, work, frustration and social pressure become material for poems that often take an ordinary phrase and stretch it into something larger. The author describes the collection as poetry written in the language of the working class, designed to connect metaphor with everyday life.

That approach gives the collection much of its character. Life becomes a clock, a courtroom, a theater, a bank account or even a traffic violation. In “Debt to Society,” the language of bills, taxes, credit and repayment becomes a way to examine regret and accountability. “My Accent” looks at heritage, language and what it means to sound foreign in a new country.

“The Subway Artist” stays closer to the street. A musician strums his guitar in an underground station, making music against the noise of passing trains while never knowing exactly what the day will pay.

The collection also turns toward Asty’s birthplace in Une autre histoire d’ Haiti (Another Story of Haiti). The poem revisits the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince, moving through images of collapsed buildings, injuries, loss, rescue efforts and people helping one another in the aftermath.

“The Immigrant” approaches migration through another set of familiar images, with a speaker drifting at sea, rowing against waves and looking toward the horizon for direction.

The result is a collection that feels less interested in polishing life than in examining it.

For readers drawn to poetry that finds meaning in immigration, street language, relationships and the everyday struggles people rarely stop to examine, Poetry on Fire is available on Amazon.
