Storms, history, humanity, the wild, and the wild within us come together in these lyrical diaspora poems by Ryan Caidic. From home-country longing, to lives in the past and present, these poems will transport you into thought spaces you probably avoid. After the reading, Ryan discusses diaspora poetry, how creative advertisers and poets have the same goals, and what it’s like to raise a family in a country not your own. Ryan’s beautiful poems were Etched Onyx’s 2024 Writing Contest 2nd place winner, and if you’d like to read his poetry or learn more about Ryan, head over to Etched Onyx Magazine at www.onyxpublications.com.
