Canadian Book Review ~ The Meaning of Leaving by Kate Rogers

Happy publication to Canadian poet Kate Rogers, whose collection, The Meaning of Leaving has been released by AOS Publishing!

The poems in The Meaning of Leaving explore the broad theme of departure—from an abusive marriage, a homeland, and an adopted home. The themes of the nature of home, homelessness, and belonging run through the poems as the speaker reflects on returning from Hong Kong to her Canadian birthplace.

With unflinching tenderness and insight, Rogers reflects on our hardest edges and most vulnerable soft spots, bringing the painful and unspoken parts of ourselves to brilliant, shattering light. The effect is transfixing, unsettlingly, and explosive.
