Coming Home: a poetic journey

By Dennis Herrell

This collection of poems takes readers on a journey through the many layers of human experience, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the natural world. It begins with reflections on soldiers returning home, carrying both physical and emotional scars, while those they left behind hold on to hope and dreams for the future. The poems explore personal identity, shaped by the lives and choices of parents and ancestors, and highlight the resilience required to navigate life's uncertainties.
Through rich imagery, the collection paints stories of immigrants crossing into new lands, seeking fresh starts and opportunities, and the comfort found in solitude, where one can reflect and create. It speaks to the importance of holding on to inspiration and the small, fleeting thoughts that can lead to life-changing ideas.
The natural world is brought to life with descriptions of mountains, streams, forests, and the sea, emphasizing its beauty and harmony with human life. These poems invite readers to pause, reflect, and find meaning in both the simple and profound aspects of life. This is a thoughtful collection that celebrates the connections between people, nature, creativity, and the lasting impressions we leave behind.
