Description
Kei Miller's latest collection explores the tension between two systems of knowledge and understanding. A cartographer, accustomed to mapping places using scientific methods, finds himself drawn to a different way of perceiving territory. As he tries to chart his path to Zion, he comes to appreciate the complexities of place-names and the history they carry. Every place on this island is imbued with stories, yet not every named location can be found. Miller's poetry masterfully conveys the nuances of understanding and the limitations of mapping the world. With its unique blend of insight and observation, this collection invites readers to consider their own relationship with place and identity. Through his work, Kei Miller offers a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to navigate our surroundings and find one's place in the world.
