Maps and Transcripts of the Ordinary World - by Kathryn Cowles (Paperback)

Maps and Transcripts of the Ordinary World is a collection of poems that will take you on a journey through the unsettled distance between reality and its transcriptions.

With language that is both light and recursive, Kathryn Cowles leads readers through distinct landscapes, from islands to plains to mountains, all while puzzling over the valley between literature and lived experience.

This collection embraces the actual world with intelligence, humility, and tenderness, defamiliarizing and refamiliarizing the world around us.

Through her use of traditional lyricism and playful refrains, Cowles will have you questioning how much of a moment is captured by the mechanisms we use to describe it.

Don't miss out on this captivating collection that will change your mind and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the actual world.
