{"product_id":"9781771312790","title":"Cartography and Walking","description":"Shortlisted for the 2003 Henry Kreisel Award for Best First Book (Writers Guild of Alberta Award)  In Cartography and Walking, Adam Dickinson charts his own listening -- an acute listening of eye and ear, a listening with both body and mind. \"Cartography\" is more than a metaphor for him, it's a way of being. It is how we dwell in the world, and how intimacy enriches such dwelling. Yet \"cartography\" is the presiding metaphor, the structure of this book; in giving it such a place, Dickinson reminds the reader of that very human impulse to plot, to imagine. Each poem is itself a kind of mapping, through language and sound, through minute observation, until land, love, and everyday life are given new embodiment, are newly discovered, and a reader finds new countries in strangely familiar settings.","brand":"Brick Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300978213104,"sku":"9781771312790","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771312790_p0.jpg?v=1763707613","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771312790","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
