Marjorie Lotfis' debut collection is a meditation on the idea of home,spanning a childhood in Iran,years in America,and her current home in Scotland. It explores what it means to come from somewhere else,what we carry with us,and how we land in a new place and come to rest.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 80 pages
Publication date: 19 October 2023
Publisher: Bloodaxe Books Ltd


Winner of the James Berry Poetry Prize, Marjorie Lotfis' debut collection is a captivating exploration of the concept of home, encompassing two distinct halves. The first half delves into her childhood in Iran, marked by the upheaval of the revolution, while the second half follows her journey as a young woman in America and her current residence in Scotland. Through these poignant poems, Lotfis poses profound questions about the essence of coming from a different place, the baggage we carry with us as we embark on new adventures, and the process of settling into a new home and finding solace. Recognized with the Poetry Book Society Special Commendation, this remarkable collection showcases Lotfis' exceptional talent and offers a profound reflection on the human experience of displacement and belonging.
