'Home is a profound and tangled experience that reaches far beyond the physical space. This wise, beautifully edited selection of poetry and prose lays bare the universal longing to belong. Humorous, comforting and devastating, Cycles in Light maps the emotional and physical geography of home, inviting readers on a word journey through sanctuary and identity, love and loss, isolation and connection. Cycles in Light is a testament to the power of story to illuminate the places, people and things that shape our lives and leave indelible marks on our hearts.' -Katherine McLean, Hunter Writers Centre Director
