Publisher’s Synopsis<\/h4>\n

Maps of Our Bodies draws on themes of travel, location\/dislocation, and that old workhorse, love. These poems and prose poems are a series of maps and meditations on the act of traversing space, both physically and emotionally; together, they sketch out a narrative arc about the course of a relationship, from its intense and sleepless beginnings to the negotiations of boundaries and space, to separation over long distances and a solitary road trip across the huge expanse of land that is Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
