Book Description
Nomad
is a collection of poems by Yvonne Weekes, published in 2019. The collection has been described as a
“survivors’ handbook” and a “travellers’ guide for anyone who has known the burden of a life bundled into bags”
. In Nomad, Weekes delves into the complexities of
exile, particularly in the aftermath of the Soufriere Hills volcano eruption in Montserrat
, which forced her and many others to leave their homes. The poems reflect her experiences as an immigrant child in London and a refugee in Barbados, grappling with the memory of her homeland and building a new life in unfamiliar surroundings.
