Coming Home

The fourth installment in one poet's journey of healing, Coming Home grapples with questions of identity and roots, the seeds of who we are, and how much control we have over who we're becoming. It questions whether home is only a place where we sleep and eat, someplace we come back to every night, or is something we take with us each day when we walk out that door. If we find peace within ourselves, what's to stop us from cultivating it everywhere else?
