Without Home
 Without Home is a poetic tale of travel, of living simply to write,
an exploration which embraces landscapes, transforming each image into
a delicate metaphor of the interior self. Testimonials: Therése Halscheid's poems are remarkable for the power of their imagery, exquisite yet fierce. Without Home contains dazzling crafted work whose landscapes move from the Jersey shore to South Africa — landscapes of love and loss, 'parachutes of dandelions'. And Halscheid's poems contain a lyrical intelligence that is haunting." — Laura Boss "'I will no longer speak in terms of separateness,' writes Therése
Halscheid. From beginning to end, the poems in Without Home speak
with the voice of one who has sought and made connections across varied
terrain,
both physical and spiritual. Halscheid's poems sing with the resonance
and detail of each far-flung place, from a remote Australian cattle station
to the hospital room where her brain-damaged father sits, cut off from
his daughter's love and need. "Radiant, mysterious poems that flow down the page as easily as water, or skip over the page as if going from stone to stone in search of safe footing." — Nancy J. Weigel, White Pelican Review Review Feature Sample Poem Availability
