This issue’s guest editor, Laila Malik, establishes at the beginning of her editor’s note a dreadful feeling that has become all too familiar: “Of late, home, with its promise of sanctuary, has been perplexingly more absent than usual.” In this special themed issue, poets and writers from around the world reflect on what the idea of “home” means to them.
