At Home: A collection of poems

At Home is a collection of poems that reflect the feelings of familiarity, security, and friendship, and invite readers to make themselves at home in the pages. The anthology is the fifth published by Lautus Press and is similar in style and feel to the other titles. The poems in the book reflect the sense of coming home from a day's work and being at ease and comfortable, as well as the idea of being welcoming to everyone. The authors have also decided to make a donation to Homeless Oxfordshire for every copy of the book that is sold, as the charity is the county's largest not-for-profit supported accommodation provider for people experiencing homelessness and is an open door for people whose lives have been shaped by trauma.

This is the fifth anthology published by Lautus Press, and it shares a similar style and atmosphere with the other titles in the series, which include Washing Lines (which explores the world of washing and laundry), Strings of Pearls (which delves into the world of jewels and jewelry, exploring the stories they tell), Shorelines (which explores beaches and beachcombing, collecting shells and pebbles), and Treelines (which focuses on trees, woods, and orchards).

At Home captures the essence of what it means to feel truly at home, not only in the sense of returning from a day's work and finding solace and comfort, but also in the sense of being welcoming to everyone, gathering around the fire or around the kitchen table, which is the heart of the house.

To reflect these feelings of familiarity, security, and friendship, we have selected poems that evoke these emotions and invite you to make yourself at home within these pages.

Home holds a special place in the hearts of all of us, and we both came to realize its immense significance during the lockdown period. We also recognize how fortunate we are to have homes that are safe and joyful places, which is why we have made the decision to donate to Homeless Oxfordshire for every copy of the book that is sold.

Homeless Oxfordshire is the county's largest not-for-profit supported accommodation provider for individuals experiencing homelessness, offering a haven of safety, stability, and support when it is most needed. This local charity serves as an open door for those whose lives have been shaped by trauma, providing them with the necessary resources to rebuild their lives and find hope for a better future.

By purchasing a copy of At Home, you are not only supporting a local author and publisher but also contributing to a meaningful cause. Your purchase will make a positive impact on the lives of those who are less fortunate and help to create a more inclusive and compassionate society.

So, whether you are looking for a collection of beautiful poetry or simply seeking a meaningful way to support a worthy cause, we invite you to make yourself at home in these pages and enjoy the words and stories that await you.
