Synopsis

In Penguins Fly, Teren Hazzard’s sweet, witty, narrative poetry collection, we meet Canadian University 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.

À propos de l'auteur

Continuing to grow and learn, Teren Hazzard writes about his observations from living in Sherwood Park and Edmonton, Alberta. His choice to write place-based poetry about his perspective as a queer Canadian is inspired by other writers who were brave enough to share their personal worlds in the books he reads.Teren is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Conservation Sciences at the University of Alberta. His love for sciences and nature is often woven into his work. His poetry is featured in the Queer Toronto Literary Magazine, Beyond Queer Words, and Transit in Motion bus art. His poem, Dance with Us, Girly Girl, is the 1st place winner of the 2025 Centre for Literature in Canada Poetry Contest. He frequents open mic nights in the Edmonton-area, and was the 2024 and 2025 Strathcona County Pride Flag Raising featured poet.
