Homecoming
Homecoming
Melinda Burns
The poems in Homecoming (Bookland Press, 2025) are grouped according to the directions of the Medicine Wheel: East for Beginnings, South for Innocence, West for Going Within, North for Elder / Wisdom, and the Centre for the Creator and the Great Mystery. Each section reflects both the universal human journey of growth and learning, and the author’s personal experiences—spanning childhood, marriage, divorce, parenthood, and her parents’ aging. The poems also explore her journey to reclaim and celebrate her Native heritage.
