I believe that there must be a simplicity

within the madness of our existence

that if we were meant to be somewhere else instead of right here,

we indeed would be somewhere else

Welcome Home is a poetry collection inspired by the search through life's seasons of heartbreak, loss, doubt, feeling lost, finding a way and eventually finding yourself

It is my deepest hope

that at the end of it all

you will be home

Welcome Home is the first poetry collection of Anna-Belle Buyse, a Belgian native who took a leap of faith at the age of 24 and moved herself across the ocean to New York, USA not knowing anybody. Having had a feeling of just not quite being where she was supposed to be, she felt she needed to leave her roots in order to discover who she truly is.

Writing is one of the tools she uses to process emotions and to make sense of what it means to be a wildly complex seeking human alive in this beautiful and tumultuous world.
