Wiman calls home \"a house, a country, a language, a love, a longing, a grief, a god.\" It's \"a word that disperses into more definitions than one book can contain.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tensions between diffusion and concentration, roaming and rootedness, precarity and security are everywhere in this book, often in the same poem. Ranging from early modernism to the current moment, and from southern Africa to the Arctic Circle, the selections are as diverse as the poets included. Collectively they envision an imaginative home for even the most homeless of modern readers. Completed entirely during quarantine, amid the miseries of separation and isolation, the collection offers a powerful vision of home as both a place and a way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39318143238167,"sku":"9780300253450","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/cw_15c33ac4-47c7-495f-94a9-8085e2206c57.jpg?v=1622316250","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/11-03-2021-home-100-poems-edited-by-christian-wiman","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
