Review of 'A Place Called No Homeland' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Fantastic, thoughtful poetry. A book I'll keep coming back to.

Published Nov. 26, 2017 by Arsenal Pulp Press.
This extraordinary poetry collection journeys to the place where forgotten ancestors live and monstrous women roam—and where the distinctions between body, land, and language are lost. In these fierce yet tender narrative poems, Thom draws from both memory and mythology to create new maps of gender, race, sexuality, and violence. Descended from the traditions of oral storytelling, spoken word, and queer punk, Thom's debut collection is evocative and unforgettable.
Fantastic, thoughtful poetry. A book I'll keep coming back to.
