Stitching a Home

Year:
2021
Publisher:
Red River

The fifty-two poems in Stitching a Home undertake a searching analysis of the idea of home in cultural narratives of the everyday. Home, these poems urge, can be everything, yet nothing. Again, there is no fixed signification of home. It can be signified by place, person, object, feeling, dream, memory, forgetting, even by absence. Home as an idea repeatedly evokes the world and asks us to pay attention to concepts of alienation and belonging. Traversing cities, desires, relationships, daybreaks and nightfalls, these are poems that elevate the minutiae of our daily living into intense and often feminist moments of poetic reflection.
