Description

Catherine Owen’s poetry collection Moving to Delilah examines themes of loss, uprooting, the power of place, and the pursuit of identity as she describes her move to Edmonton, where she buys a historic home called Delilah. She explores the past and present in her vivid poetry, weaving together the history of her new home and her own personal grief. The poems explore the emotional terrain of identity and memory, which aligns well with the English language arts curriculum, especially in terms of encouraging critical thinking, empathy, and an awareness of complicated emotions. Educators can use Owen’s poetry to help students explore themes of resilience, adaptation, and the importance of community. Moreover, the historical elements in the poems can be integrated into social studies lessons, encouraging students to research and connect with their local history.
