Description of the Book:
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.
Hiraeth
Author's Name: Morgan Chavez About the Author: Morgan Chavez is a middle school teacher by day and a poet in the moonlight. As a writer, she seeks to use her words to capture the essence of her every experience in hopes that readers will see traces of themselves in them. Morgan believes in the romanticization of the prosaic. Her preferred ways to do this include reading under grey skies, getting lost in new places, picnicking in parks, daydreaming on trains, resolving to find the very best chai tea latte in every city, pretending Harry Styles can see her from the stage, and watching people have what she calls "human moments." Morgan is still deciding on where to call home, but wherever you find her, it will surely be with a sense of wonder in her eyes and ink stains on her fingertips. Book's ISBN: 9789395087636
