Description: "The plan for this limited edition artist's book developed during the quincentenary celebration of Columbus' voyage to the New World. That Age of Discovery was a time when women remained at home and men navigated oceans and explored distant shores. In contrast, twentieth-century women encircle the globe with ease. Reflecting this phenomenon, the text of Beyond The Map contains fourteen poems selected from the work of eleven women who use journey and exploration as metaphor"--Publisher's website, viewed on February 4, 2015.
