Home is a Sweater

reflects on ideas of place, infertility, trauma, and hope. A series of poems explore memories held within specific organs of the body and others use tangible objects to reflect on absence and loss. Pieces take you to Detroit, Pittsburgh, a kitchen sink, and a small classroom in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Throughout the collection, Wielkopolan continues to question what it means to feel at home in a specific place and within a body. Mixed in are moments of humor, candor, and vulnerability that make each poem a fragile artifact, waiting to be explored.
