The Thai poetry collection Rawang Tang Klub Ban expands the idea of home and the road back home beyond private memory to the experiences of migrants, refugees, war, and people pushed to the margins of society. Home becomes both an intimate place and a political, universal question.

Voices longing for a place to return to deepen the meaning of the word home.
