Homestead

This collection of poetry, written by Cleveland-bred Autumn Aki, takes the difficult aspect of being "human," of love, of home, of comfort and examines in a way that bears her own heartbreak and insecurity. Through this book, she hopes to provoke a sense of pride in the fragile and brokenness of humanity. With influences such as Anis Mojgani, Andrea Gibson, Jack Kerouac, Murakami Haruki and more, this small collection of poems promises a refreshing outlook on what it means to be human in today's society.
