Description
Marjorie Lotfi's debut collection explores the idea of home in two distinct halves. Her poems reflect on the places we start and end up in our lives, tracing her own journey from childhood in Iran to her current home in Scotland. Through these meditations, she asks what it means to come from somewhere else and how we carry ourselves when leaving one place behind. The poems span Lotfi's experiences as a young woman in America, weaving together themes of displacement, belonging, and the search for a sense of place. With each poem, she invites the reader to consider the complexities of home and identity. This collection has received critical acclaim, including the James Berry Poetry Prize 2021 and the Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection 2024 (Forward Prizes).
