Publisher Marketing: Poetry. Written during a six-week trip through Europe, COORDINATES OF YES marries nuances of travel (loneliness, restlessness, adventure, reverie, risk, discovery) with ekphrasis (poems inspired by the visual arts). This collection of poems addresses different ways of seeing: The experience of travel and art-viewing can enlighten as well as confuse, while the literal eye that travels is undifferentiated from the eye of the imagination. At the core of COORDINATES OF YES lies dualism: "Coordinates" refers to place and transience of travel, and "Yes" suggests the mind-set required of both traveler and viewer of art.
