Nowhere at Home presents a collection of formal poems, including self-describing poetry, palindromic poetry, and other literary constraints both traditional and original.

“Pedro Poitevin writes strict, formal poems so uncannily that, in Nowhere at Home, ‘we hear the Moon.’" — Christian Bök 

“Nowhere at Home is an inventive and thought-provoking tapestry that intertwines the personal, the social, and the philosophical. A master of wordplay and poetic forms, Poitevin crafts an intricate dance of words, seamlessly combining high verbal precision with logical closure and evocative imagery. “ — Philip Nikolayev

“Unquestionably the most singular book of poetry I’ve read in decades. Ever read a bilingual Elizabethan sonnet that’s also a palindrome? Nowhere at Home is full of exquisite pleasures of form, taken to the nth degree. This book reminds us of the parallels between mathematical logic and poetry, and makes us more attuned, sensitive readers of words (and letters). Yet this poetry is not only play. It is also a concerted effort to enact Frost’s ‘momentary stay against confusion,’ to offer a human challenge to chaos, personal and cosmic.” — J.D. Scrimgeour
