Collection of poems by author of THE CARTOGRAPHER'S MELANCHOLY, winner of the 2004 Spokane Prize for Poetry, and TROUBLED INTIMACIES. PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS WORK: "[Axelrod's poems are a moving journey into a landscape where we are all pilgrims making our way down dark roads in search of some transcendent moment that may never occur, yet the will to keep traveling impels us every forward until we reach a kind of solace and release." -- Ai, author of DREAD "Thought-provoking...often lyrically tender." -- Barbara McMichael, reviewer for THE OLYMPIAN
