About this book
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR of CONFESSIONS OF A BAREFACED WOMAN
2022 ILLINOIS AUTHOR OF THE YEAR
Allison Joseph searches for home in her poetry collection, DWELLING
Dwelling is the latest collection from Allison Joseph, whose wise words, narrative passion, and lyrical intensity have made her a fan favorite with audiences of all ages. In Dwelling, Joseph is concerned with the inevitable search for home—as a woman, as a person of color, and as a poet. Her poems take on subjects from the serious and sublime to the humorous and ironic. Whatever her subject, Joseph is humane, humble, hilarious, and high-spirited. This poet goes wherever her imagination thrives—dwelling among us and beyond us.
