Home: A Collection of Poetic Thoughts and Things (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662890185)

Old poems, forgotten poems, left behind poems have found a place in HOME. Many words come to mind when thinking about home. Some that are settled within my heart include: homeplace, safe place, and sanctuary. Warmth and welcoming. The voice that always beckoned me to return when I had moved so far away. Where my roots rest. Home means many things to many people. It is not always a physical structure. Home can be found in a person - a spouse, family, or friend. Home is where my last poems have come to roost like prodigal sons and daughters. Welcome home. Emily Jones Hudson was born and raised in Hazard, Kentucky.
