“Where Is My Home?” (Part 2): The four poems on this episode address this question from a variety of perspectives: home as an imaginary place; home valued for the quality of one’s neighbors; home as a portable existence, a van; and home as the indoor / outdoor zone where multiple generations in a family live together over many years. W. B. Yeats, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree.” T’ao Ch’ien, “Moving House,” from A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems, translated by Arthur Waley (Knopf, 1919). Linds Sanders, “Those Places We Melt Into,” from Quibble Lit, Issue 4: Muddle, Summer 2022 (see lindssanders.com), and used with kind permission of the author.
