Home

HOME is a book of poetry in four parts that deals with the processing of trauma. The first two parts detail romantic and existential challenges, and make up the bulk of the poems. Part three comprises a selection of journal entries that were written through this process. Part four is the completed synthesis, a final poem spanning over forty pages, broken down into four parts and further subsections that explore the journey to reaching appeasement. The poems are accompanied by images taken during the gestation of this book and provide visual insight into the daily travels taken to walk out these words. HOME explores the themes of memory, dreams, love, cross-continental modern relationships, distance, loss, humility, appreciation, mortality, mental ill-health, and acceptance.
