Description: Without A Homeland is Albanian songwriter Irma Kurti’s fourth collection in English. In these poems, Kurti explores her life as a dual citizen of Albania and Italy. She searches her past and sings celebrations of her parents who influenced her and imparted their wisdom. She writes of grief in eloquent passages and reminds the reader not to take human life for granted. Her poetry is both of place and being– exploring the inner continent of emotion and passion, as well as the beauty of Nature.
