This is an autobiographical poetry of a refugee, abandoned by her motherland, looking for a home throughout the world while trying to recreate the feeling of belonging. Sorting through memories and dreams and trying to reconcile the feeling of being homesick with the sense of disenchantment and disappointment with what has become of her home country, Julia writes about repercussions of displacement on one’s identity. Home-More Home-Less gives an insight into the psychological consequences of being separated from one’s culture and one’s family, about attempts to reconstruct one’s identity in new cultural and linguistic surroundings.
In today’s world, with immigration opportunities ranging from a single work contract in a neighbouring country to a permanent move to another continent, with frequent political upheavals and natural disasters resulting in relocation of thousands and thousands of families, this book will bring you closer to understanding the consequences of geographical, cultural and emotional immigration and separation.
