How to Find Where You Belong by Rose Condo
Twenty years since moving from Canada to the UK, critically-acclaimed and multi-award-winning poet Rose Condo considers the features, facets and philosophies for determining a sense of belonging. This collection explores community, identity, personal growth and societal wellbeing through compassion, sharp political observation and finely honed humour. It is a love letter to home, wherever you might find it.
“Beautifully written and deeply inspiringRose takes you on her journey; a journey with elements that you too have walked or felt. A book of community, of love and friendship.” — Sharena Lee Satti / “The deft balance of touching sentiment and formal confidence makes these poems stand tall and demand attention – but so does the verve, the humour, the unbridled humanity of this work.” — Kevin P. Gilday / “Transitions from charm, warmth and humour to quietly devastating poignancy. Filled with wonderfully honest observations on the human experience, this book belongs on every bookshelf.” — Lisa O’Hare
