"Homesickness Is a Forgotten Art" is a compelling poetry collection that resonates with the echoes of a subtle presence. Open and attuned to what is, the poems portray complex reflections of deep human emotions and contradictions. Jo l Pourbaix is curious about the world and he explores the enigma of the everyday: "I walk the line between the visible and the invisible; what more could you ask for?" The French-language edition of this book won the 2015 Governor General's Award for Poetry in the French language.
