Homecoming
Magda Isanos
Translated from Romanian by Christina Tudor-Sideri
Homecoming by Magda Isanos, translated from Romanian by Christina Tudor-Sideri and published by Sublunary Editions, is a book rooted in Romania. Isanos’s Homecoming, translated by Christina Tudor-Sideri, sounds like a Romanian lyric return shaped by tenderness, mortality, and place. Homecoming is never only arrival. It can also mean recognition, loss, estrangement, or the discovery that home has changed while the self was elsewhere. I would read this collection for its emotional clarity and for the ache that gathers around return. The best homecoming poems usually know that the door opens both ways. It belongs here because the collection widens the library’s sense of what lyric attention can sound like in English.
