Articles liés à Homecoming: Joanna Ezekiel
Synopsis
By necessity, to come home is to look with fresh eyes at what is familiar. Joanna Ezekiel s exquisite second collection captures this experience with a combination of quiet observation and vivid sensuality. She draws on her British Jewish upbringing and Indian Jewish heritage to explore what it means to belong to a family, to a country, to a culture in poems that sing with warmth and generosity. Playful juxtapositions of characters and landscapes create a sense of the unexpected, and her treatment of the past is as subtle as her commentary on the present. Evocative and tender, Homecoming is a collection that invites the reader into an unfamiliar place and makes them feel at home.
