“Once Home is a compelling trip through one’s emotions: poignant, passionate, sometimes disturbing; but always engaging. Joris Soeding is going places in the poetry world.”
— Jeani Rector, Editor of The Horror Zine
~~About Once Home~~
Once Home draws inspiration from over five decades of horror films. From the beginning, nameless characters surface throughout various suspenseful circumstances. These scenarios are either one scene in a poem, or a reconstruction of several pivotal moments in a movie. The nineteen poems are cohesive through the theme of home, both leaving home and trying to return there.
The poems include emotion and the countless forms of suspense drawn from scary movies of the past half century. These elements have been carefully construed over time, while being relevant through the idea of home.
