Homesickness Is a Forgotten Art

"Homesickness Is a Forgotten Art" is a compelling poetry collection that resonates with the echoes of a subtle presence. Open and attuned to what is, the poems portray complex reflections of deep human emotions and contradictions. Joël Pourbaix is curious about the world and he explores the enigma of the everyday: "I walk the line between the visible and the invisible; what more could you ask for?" The French-language edition of this book won the 2015 Governor General's Award for Poetry in the French language.
