The Collection, ‘Going Home to Wyoming’ by John Ennis is a retrospective of the poet’s work published between 2000 and 2019, complementing an earlier selection. The book is thematically rather than chronologically organised, exploring concepts of home, displacement, and human rights violations through various poems that reference Irish folklore, classical literature, and contemporary events. It includes a biographical note and acknowledgements, highlighting influences ranging from ancient myths to modern figures and acknowledging publishing and literary support. The collection’s title is notably linked to John Ford’s film Cheyenne Autumn, used as a lens to examine themes of identity and historical injustice. The significance of “Wyoming” and “Going Home” within this collection is central to its themes, as explored in the book’s introductions and the title poem itself. “Going Home to Wyoming” is the title of the collection, which comprises “Later Selected Poems 2000–2020” by John Ennis, drawing from thirteen previous publications.
