Overview

The poems in ALL ROADS LEAD TO HERE, Carolina Hospital's third solo collection, expose tensions between loss and love, youth and wisdom, hope and reality. Transformative moments capture womanhood, the trauma of illness, the exile experience, and nature's forces interacting with the human through an exacting eye. The book pulls from the author's experiences of displacement, which insistently lead her back to the sea. Hospital weaves past with present, offering glimpses into the trajectory of her life, while braiding images of the sea, a powerful and constant magnet. Readers accompany the poet through an intimately layered and unraveling journey that simultaneously intrigues and moves. ""All Roads Lead to Here is steeped in the present tense of nature. It is a salve in troubled times."" Mia Leonin
