A collection of 30 short poems, accompanied by photographs, Mapping
Memory traces imaginary pathways across the Isle of Wight, over
several decades. Together with its sister cycle, After the Ball,
through word and image Mapping Memory invents what Thomas Hardy
called a 'partly dream, partly real' country. Together, the poems
and photographs explore the texture of memory, offering brief
glimpses into places at once immediately accessible and yet
ultimately secret in their echoes and resonances. With a Foreword
by James Fleming and an Afterword by Ruth Heholt, Mapping Memory
and After the Ball offers a powerful and singular vision of the
often intimate relation between memory and place. 'Mapping Memory
and After the Ball are an experience in and with words. Moving from
the illuminating intensity of haiku to narrative fragments, poem
and image become epiphanic revelations, which delve deep into the
density of the written word'-Saverio Tomaiuolo 'Powerful poems and
pictures of elegiac Tennysonian quality. Wolfreys is, without
doubt, a very fine poet'-William Baker
