Description
Letters Home is Jennifer Wong's remarkable and vivid third collection of poems, exploring the complexities of being between nations, languages, and cultures. Through her distinctive style, she examines what it means to be returning home, questioning whether this return is to a location, country, or shared dream or language.
This thought-provoking collection delves into themes of homesickness, nostalgia, humour, hope, and optimism, offering a nuanced portrayal of the diaspora experience. Wong's poems are full of insight, as she probes the intricate relationship between culture and identity, and what it means to leave one place to become defined by another.
