WINNER OF THE 2014 FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION In this
collection, acclaimed Jamaican poet Kei Miller dramatizes what
happens when one system of knowledge, one method of understanding
place and territory, comes up against another. We watch as the
cartographer, used to the scientific methods of assuming control
over a place by mapping it, is gradually compelled to
recognize--even to envy--a wholly different understanding of place,
as he tries to map his way to the rastaman's eternal city of Zion.
As the book unfolds the cartographer learns that, on this island of
roads that "constrict like throats," every place-name comes
freighted with history, and not every place that can be named can
be found.
