Catherine Taylor reviews The Homecoming by Zoë Apostolides in this week's TLS 😍

Publisher and poet Chris Emery looks back on an unexpected encounter in his teenage years, and reflects on the mechanics of writing from lived experience. bookanista.com/origins-chris-emery/ His new poetry collection, Wonder, is available now from Salt Publishing @chrisemery.me @saltpublishing.com

‘‘Although coming across as deeply personal, the reader is drawn in to enjoy a sensuous feast of observation and yearning. Allow time to savour, to taste again and uncover further flavours. These poems contain layers and pleasing depth.” Jackie Law reviews Wonder by Chris Emery.
