‘Bonded relationship’ to 120-year-old house at centre of new poetry collection
What makes a home? What is the importance of rootedness? Catherine Owen explores these questions in a new collection of poetry, Moving to Delilah. The poems recount the experience of Owen’s move from an apartment in Vancouver to a house in Edmonton, and the new and surprising aspects of owning a home, growing a garden, and participating more deeply in community.
