Home on the Move

Home on the Move explores notions of ‘home’ that are challenged and reshaped by unprecedented migration. The anthology interrogates ideas of home, belonging and language from poetic perspectives. The creative responses are the results of a journey undertaken by two poems about ‘home’: poet Deryn Rees-Jones’ poem ‘HOME’ who traveled from the UK via France to Spain and back and Polish poet Rafal Gawin’s poem: ‘DOM. KONSTRUKCJA W PROCESIE SADOWYM’ (‘Home. Structure on Trial’). Gawin traveled to the UK via Romania and back to Poland and the poems reflects the inspiration of these places. During each journey, the poems were translated by a literary translator and a local film artist.
