This etymology acts as guide for de Boer's \"i\" when she imagines homecoming as less a moment of arrival and more about desire to move through pain and mystery in the formation of self. Nostos is an essential debut from one of Canada's fastest rising poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracy Wai de Boer is an award-winning writer, poet, and multidisciplinary artist.
