description: These moving poems map the internal geographies of desire and memory. The 19 poems in Amie Siegel's first collection were composed during her extended stays in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and the American Southwest. They evoke the ways we derive meaning from our contact with other places and demonstrate the power of language both to construct and to dematerialize what it describes.
