Poems of displacement, interactions in a variety of social landscapes, in temporary homes that offer respite and change, and which find solace in the natural world.
“My exiled days return to you,
nudge my certain landing
rush towards your open cosmos eye
through gold-reef doorways city deep”.
(Homecoming)
