A propos du livre

Review

Like pentimento, when time begins to reveal an old painting that's been covered by a new one, Where the Heart Is rubs away at our surface notions of home, until we begin to see the more interesting vision beneath. Writing from his death row cell in San Quentin, Jarvis Masters describes his battle with filth and cockroaches as he determinedly makes a concrete box a sanctuary. A housecleaner reveals the gossip that only a home's mess can tell. Ram Dass tells his secret for making a Holiday Inn a home. These poems, essays, and rituals speak to home as a state-of-mind that we can build and return to throughout our lives.

From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff

Home is much more than the walls and windows that encase it. Home is also a spiritual boundary, a shelter from the craziness and unpredictability of the world. This beautiful little book pays tribute to all that is the essence of home with snippets of poetry and reflections on the meaning of home, words of wisdom, laments and longings, rituals for celebrating and bits of advice on making a home yours-wherever you are.
