Hometown Onomastics shatters apart many rocks from one with its unrelenting familial and ancestral inquisitions. In the rubble you find the mysteries that swim between our names or are buried in the foundations of our hometowns. Light’s poetry and prose is expansive in its scope and unapologetically alive with both curiosity and knowing.
