i came from the sea / first on fins then on fours Taking its title from Ancient Greek, Tracy Wai de Boer's Nostos is a hero's journey rooted in the quest for selfhood from elemental beginnings to an unknowable end. "Nostos" translates to homecoming and is one of the root words of nostalgia; the other, "algos," means pain, making nostalgia a painful return home. 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.
