Twenty years since moving from Canada to the UK, critically-acclaimed & multi-award-winning poet Rose Condo considers the features, facets & philosophies for determining a sense of belonging.
This collection explores community, identity, personal growth & societal wellbeing through compassion, sharp political observation & finely honed humour. It is a love letter to home, wherever you might find it.
“Beautifully written & deeply inspiring. Rose takes you on her journey; a journey with elements that you too have walked or felt. A book of community, of love & friendship.” — Sharena Lee Satti
“The deft balance of touching sentiment & formal confidence makes these poems stand tall & demand attention – but so does the verve, the humour, the unbridled humanity of this work.” — Kevin P. Gilday
“Transitions from charm, warmth & humour to quietly devastating poignancy. Filled with wonderfully honest observations on the human experience, this book belongs on every bookshelf." - Lisa O'Hare
