three works published in Nostos: Poetry, Fiction, and Art, Issue 10: Homecoming.
This issue of Nostos explores the idea of homecoming and return.
Animals migrate across water, land, and sky in search of better food weather, and habitats to reproduce.
Humpback whales travel to feeding grounds near polar ice regions, rich in krill and small fish. As winter nears, they swim 3200 miles to warmer waters for birthing.
Over million wildebeest migrate annually in a vast loop around Southeast Africa. They follow the rainy season in search of fresh water and grass.
Bar-headed geese, flying at 20,000 feet over the Himalayas, cover over 1,000 miles daily. They migrate twice annually to avoid summer monsoons and harsh winter storms.
These recurring journeys make migration itself a form of homecoming.
