Coming Home by Craig Randall
4.5
Buckle up for a poetic road trip with Craig Randall as he takes us on a deeply personal journey of finding home—not just as a physical place but as a sense of belonging within. Home is where the heart is, after all. If you've read Randall's previous collections, you'll know to expect a transformative experience from start to finish. In fact, all his poetry books together weave a long, extended exploration of self-discovery, though each collection stands solidly on its own.
This latest collection masterfully balances short-form and long-form poetry, interspersed with thoughtfully placed interludes that guide readers seamlessly from one phase of the journey to the next. Randall's poetic road trip moves through sadness, acceptance, and ultimately, the profound realization of what "home" truly means.
Like his earlier works, this collection resonated deeply with me, and I believe it will connect with many readers on a personal level. Among the standout poems, "Retracing Your Steps" stood out as particularly clever and moving. If you're searching for poetry that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you reflecting on your own journey, this collection is a must-read.
