However, “go home” may not be as simple as returning to where one originates from. In a world where countries have become globalised but continue to take protectionist stances that focus on raising borders, restricting citizenship and denying access to asylum seekers, the notion of “home” has been destabilised. Now, more than ever, it is important to break the illusion of barriers and to acknowledge the network of routes that have brought us to where we are.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo Gather Your Leaving navigates our troubled world through poetry, responding to questions of belonging, access, journeys and mobility. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoey Kim Cheng\u003c\/strong\u003e is a multi-award-winning Singapore-born poet, and a 1996 recipient of the National Arts Council’s Young Artist Award.
