'Thank you to Liquid Amber Press for the invitation to launch this anthology – and to the editors Rose Lucas, Anne M. Carson and Reneé Pettitt-Schipp for such a wonderful job selecting the poems. It’s a long time since I’ve enjoyed reading an anthology so much and I’m still not sure if it is the thematic intrigue of writing about home that makes this book so appealing, or if this unique group of poets has come together so prismatically the place of home in our lives cannot be better illuminated. I’m rather sad that I won’t be able to mention each poet by name, or quote from their work, but please know that I value every single poem in this book. Congratulations everyone.' (Introduction)
