Creator of Uncommon Literature

Jeffrey Zygmont has pursued excellence in writing for four decades.

Advancing from newspaper reporting to magazine writing, to book-length investigations of big movements in American life, to iconoclastic fiction that examines contemporary culture, to poetry that celebrates common experience, and adding children’s books that encourage young people to engage with Nature, he has created literature that seeks to inform, inspire and enrich people.

Jeff’s current works include the 18 books below. (3 poetry/photography books, 2 poetry books, 8 children’s books, 3 novels, 2 nonfiction books)

Jeff is creating more books — including new books of poetry, more books of prose, and more children’s books — that focus on New England, his home region. His books are available at stores and shops throughout the region, and through his publishing company, Free People Publishing, which specializes in books about New England.
