Synopsis

Homecoming is a poetry collection that reflects our human journey as we grow and learn, and author's personal journey through childhood, marriage, divorce, parenthood, and parents' old age, as well as the author's quest to reclaim and celebrate her Native heritage. The poems in Homecoming are grouped according to the four directions of the Medicine Wheel: East for Beginnings, South for Innocence, West for Going Within, North for Elder and Wisdom, plus three poems for the Centre, the Great Mystery.
