chaos in paradise.

by LZA, Elle Om (Illustrator), TK Palad (Illustrator)

Overview

Chaos in paradise is a collection of fifty poems that dive deep into the duality of my mind as a person. Even though a healthy garden exists in my heart, inescapable darkness looms over it. Within this collection, I battle with self-identity, love, depression, a desire to escape from the confines of normal society, loss, and the contradictory nature that is me. I wrote this book to free my mind from every insane thought that lives within me and capture it on paper so that it liberates you from the chaos that may reside in yours. I believe everyone is fighting a mental battle under every smile they wear. There might be days when you want to give in to the darkness inside of you, do it. Drown in those thoughts until you embrace, accept, and come to peace with them because the dawn is on its way. And at the end of every moonlit path is a horizon where paradise exists. It might be closer than you think. Have you looked in the mirror lately?

About the Author

Born Lance Edward White II in Los Angeles, California, and raised in the Inland Empire, the start of LZA emerged from a time when he was inspired by “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” and SZA’s Z EP. In 2014, he starts his journey of recovery from addiction and attempted to break free of his past by creating an alter ego. The pen name LZA is more than just a pen name; it stands for Limitless, Zealous, and Abstract, all things that LZA feels he will stay true to during his creative career. While reading LZA’s poems, it’s clear that deep passion and well-thought-out writing are used to convey his message. He displays range and unique volatility by creating bodies of work that do not obey the norm as you explore the twisted reality of light and darkness, that is LZA’s very own life. After reading the words of LZA’s you may feel like you know him, or he may remind you of a part of yourself as he openly shares the challenges of his life through his writing.
