{"product_id":"9781925231373","title":"A world without maps","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn poems that range from the minimalist to the theatrical, Jane Simpson evokes the fascinatingly unfamiliar world of the Arabian Peninsula, where she found her preconceptions about Muslim women completely shattered. She writes of home and family with great tenderness. Choked forms wonderfully match the sensations of grief. In a synthesis of home and abroad, science and art, the poems reveal a compassionate, searching gaze in a world without maps. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA richly textured, poetic meditation upon the power and influence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof geography. … compassionate, lyrical and resolute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Siobhan Harvey \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poet’s magpie mind and perceptive eye is ever coming across glittering facts and shiny images to hold up to her reader’s gaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– James Norcliffe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe loss of a mother, and the loss of a city … the dance between East and West.
