| Sumario: | "In this riddling and seeking book of poems, Edward Carson navigates the emotional, often contradictory intelligence of the heart and mind. In three interrelated segments, whereabouts powerfully charts the tight emotional spaces between thinking and language, beauty and perception, love and the polemics of self and other. Taking 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. "Activated by synaptic metaphor, Edward Carson's whereabouts is love poetry by way of neuroimaging. Embracing the 'harmonics of the brain,' the poet breaks down the world sense by sense, delivering a fever dream that is part map, part destination. whereabouts is a welcome addition to the significant tradition of science poetry." Jim Johnstone, editor of The Next Wave: An Anthology of 21st Century Canadian Poetry."-- |
