Travelers without Maps by Lorne Mook
The poems in Travelers without Maps, Lorne Mook's first collection, are spoken by travelers who are haunted by details of remembered houses and roads and landscapes and who are led, by these ghosts that never leave, sometimes (as the opening poem says) "into another confusion" and sometimes into discovery. Through these travelers' voices, Mook explores the ways in which, for each of us, life is a journey undertaken without maps.

"In Mr. Mook's intensely visual poetry debut, a variety of verse forms invoke the details of long ago travels and the memories that linger. Whether it is a night crossing from Dover to Calais or the everyday 'Why We Love Motels,' the travelers who speak are alternately haunted and engrossed by their remembrances." |
Lorne Mook grew up on a farm near Saegertown, Pennsylvania. He earned an M.F.A. at the University of Maryland and is completing a Ph.D. in English at the University of Cincinnati. He currently teaches in the English Department at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
