Overview

These 100-word prose poems are contained; they spread between sections; they break out of themselves; they repeat. They reflect on landscapes, bodies, travel, time, and rooted memories, concentrating on precision of image, narrative, and language. All different shapes, colours, and textures fly over and in the multiple same-sized square boxes of the prose poem form.  This collection began on the train journey between the San Francisco Bay Area and Toronto and is supported by Walker's appreciation and integration of visual art techniques. It bursts with various narrative voices, synaesthetic and surprising imagery, and a fluidity between seemingly historical events and dreamlike voyaging.
