“at 26—/ the earthquakes began—// tell me,/ how was I supposed to feel at home// when the ground beneath me shook so fast”
homesick is multidisciplinary artist nor’s electrifying poetry collection, an ode to the growing pains of every 20-something’s search for love and belonging.
Spurred by desire, the journey to belonging unfolds against the backdrop of the heartbreaking now, a time and space shaped by the fantasies of pop culture and the State. But it is exactly when love feels out of reach that the revelations sneak in. To be homesick, it turns out, is also to laugh when it seems most absurd.
With a voice both tender and bold, nor takes us through the highs and lows of coming of age. Bittersweet and outrageous, homesick is a poetry debut poignant and pulsing with hope.
