Home is the first book of poetry in Benjamin Campbell's 13books series. Charting a range of topics throughout the year, these books aim to capture a slice of modern life. In this collection, the sense of home that is rooted in place and space soon gives way to larger questions of belonging; the home becomes the site of love and loss, inspiration and deathly boredom. Throughout, the simple and mundane are transformed into portals of memory and emotion. You can read more of Benjamin's work at his blog, http: //sketchythiings.tumblr.com/

In this collection, the divisions of life are laid bare - the paradoxes of love, the conflict of human contact, the contradictions that lie in our hearts. Through it all, though, is a sense that these things can be reconciled; the sense that, somehow, we can become everything at once.
