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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Carson is the author of \u003ci\u003eLook Here Look Away Look Again\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKnots\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBirds Flock Fish School\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTaking Shape\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eScenes\u003c\/i\u003e.
