<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Poems that explore the notion of home in the suburbs - in the intersections, overlaps, and gaps between urban and rural.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A debut poetry collection that grows from the impulse to explore home in the suburb - in the intersections, overlaps, and gaps between urban and rural. These are walking poems and driving poems. In growing suburbs across the country, there is a push to urbanize, to rethink this sprawling space; urban renewal is foreshadowed all over contemporary suburbs, where vacant single-family lots herald anticipation of redevelopment into something more, something better, something healthier. But before that happens, what do we make of the space as it sits, just as it is? What monuments anchor the suburb now? These poems call on superblocks, gas stations, fast food joints, flickering flat screen TVs, six-lane highways, and wildfire smoke to guide the experience of moving through the complicated markers from childhood to motherhood.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>Desire Path</em> is a tight collection that boldly asserts a place like Surrey is worth paying attention to, not in spite of, but because of its contradictions; its tension between past and future, rural and urban; its identity crisis; its complicated role in shaping a speaker from here to there, then to now, child to mother.--textinginthecity<br>
