Wholesale Along the Home Roads, by Andy Perrin

Poetry, chapbook, 36 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Andy Perrin’s debut chapbook, Along the Home Roads, is a poetic exploration of the intersection of human emotion and the natural world. The poetry included in this collection is comprised of rich imagistic vignettes of moments in time, anchored to a sense of place within nature. The arc of this collection is embodied in the turning of four seasons, bridging one June to the following June. Each poem is a way station on a journey of discovery, and a deeper understanding of how our well-being is intertwined with the natural world. In deeply moving free verse, Perrin harnesses moments of enlightenment, loss, sorrow, grief and also healing, awe and profound joy.
