Hiraeth

Hiraeth is a Welsh word which describes a certain almost ineffable feeling. A feeling of homesickness of nostalgia of the most visceral longing -- a feeling so desolate that somehow it becomes a comfort. This collection orbits around the concept of home and the complexities of finding it. How sometimes home is something irretrievable something that you can never return to. And how sometimes home gets right into your bones. These poems were written all over the world in various stages of love and grief and restlessness. These poems when put together tell the story of a person drawn to placelessness who cannot help but wonder what home exists for her and how she can take it with her when the frame is swept out to sea.
