RUMOURS OF HOME
The poems in Rumours of Home are explorations of what it means to be human, what it means to be essentially and wholly you, in relationship with yourself and your world.
Within the pages of this book, you’ll recognize your own deep self, your soul’s imperative to reach out and caress the vision glowing on your horizon. Here, you’ll find reflections of your struggle and mine, to create, from the clay of our contradictions, the shapes and forms of our art.
Throughout the three sections of this book you’ll encounter different ways in which I’ve sought to explore the themes that have preoccupied me for seven decades. Who are we? Why are we here? How do we live a true and authentic life? How do we take our place in the ecology of being? How do we contribute to making a just and joyful world?
In narrative poems, long-form poem sequences, persona poems, lyric poems, and StarSeeds, quiet raindrops of meditative inspiration, you’ll meet your Self in many incarnations, through stories and dreams, soundplay and wordplay, intimacy with the natural world, and on voyages through the stars.

About Rumours of Home
Award-winning writer Hiro Boga’s new book of poems celebrates the slip-sliding, stutter-step nature of our being as the true expression of our human divinity.
Within these pages you’ll find an unfolding story of home and belonging, told in a variety of forms: narrative poems, long-form poem sequences, persona poems, lyric poems, and StarSeeds — quiet raindrops of meditative inspiration. You’ll meet your Self in many incarnations, through stories and dreams, soundplay and wordplay, intimacy with the natural world, and on voyages through the stars.
These poems are explorations of Love in its many forms. Love between you and your soul. The love that brings us together, the love that dances us apart. The Love that wraps us in the arms of the world.
In the words of best-selling author Jennifer Louden, “Hiro’s tender lyricism reunites divisions and illuminates what it truly means to belong to yourself, your soul, and your world.”
For those of you who love poetry, and are called to explore the mystery of what it means to be fully human, Rumours of Home invites you into intimate relationship with the Sacred in the heart of our beautiful, fragile world.
This collection of poems opens a pathway home to yourself, to the heart of your belonging. It will inspire you to make your own art, whatever that might be, and offer it to a world in profound need of your gifts.
