In three interrelated segments, \u003ci\u003ewhereabouts\u003c\/i\u003e powerfully charts the tight emotional spaces between thinking and language, beauty and perception, love and the polemics of self and other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking on cartographic distortions and dynamics of the map metaphor, \"thereabouts (or the mapmaker's dilemma)\" playfully confronts the quandaries of personal navigation when the wants and needs of the esemplastic mind are forever devising new places to be. Exploring the brain, its neurons, and serpentine synaptic connections, \"hereabouts (in fourteen scans)\" advances a poetry of rhizomic communication capturing networks of thought and feeling that spring from both conflict and caress. Within a relationship's countless masquerades and revelations, \"whereabouts (the lovers' discourse)\" invites the reader to eavesdrop on a series of intimate conversations wherein lovers argue and act out their richly populated inner lives, addressing issues of gender, pleasure, communication, control, and sex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Carson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh MacLennan Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 4.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228006329","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867197419657,"sku":"9780228006329","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_06cd7209-7cf9-43e8-9d0a-de2e90c75721.jpg?v=1793685218","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/whereabouts-9780228006329","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
