The Cartographer Tries to Map a Way to Zion - Paperback

by Kei Miller (Author)

The new collection by acclaimed Jamaican poet, Kei Miller. Here the cartographer, used to the scientific methods of assuming control over a place by mapping it, is gradually compelled to recognise - even to envy - a wholly different understanding of place, as he tries to map his way to the rastaman's eternal city of Zion.
