Home is a Sweater reflects on ideas of place, infertility, trauma, and hope. A series of poems explore memories held within specific organs of the body and others use tangible objects to reflect on absence and loss. Pieces take you to Detroit, Pittsburgh, a kitchen sink, and a small classroom in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Throughout the collection, Wielkopolan continues to question what it means to feel at home in a specific place and within a body. Mixed in are moments of humor, candor, and vulnerability that make each poem a fragile artifact, waiting to be explored.

Autorenporträt
Stefanie Wielkopolan is a native Michigander who now calls Pittsburgh, PA home. Up until the age of eight, she spent every Saturday watching cartoons at a bowling alley bar. She credits this experience for her love of a good dive bar, people watching, and writing poetry. She holds a Master's of Liberal Studies from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and a Master's of Fine Arts in Poetry from Chatham University. Her first collection of poetry, Border Theory, was published by Black Coffee Press in 2011.
