Where I've Laid My Head

Where I've Laid My Head is the debut poetry collection by Charles McCaskill. It is the story of finding peace and belonging in a disparate group of friends, family, flora, and fauna in Florida. Glimpses of a life spent creating art around finding and losing love, defining and recreating self. It touches on themes of grief and faith then transitions to motifs of Black joy and perseverance, polyamory and wanderlust. The poetry included in this book flows through intimacy and sanctuary in various forms and invites the reader to do the same. To simply lay back and feel.
