In this collection, acclaimed Jamaican poet Kei Miller dramatizes what happens when one system of knowledge, one method of understanding place and territory, comes up against another. We watch as the cartographer, used to the scientific methods of assuming control over a place by mapping it, is gradually compelled to recognizeOCoeven to envyOCoa wholly different understanding of place, as he tries to map his way to the rastamanOCOs eternal city of Zion. As the book unfolds the cartographer learns that, on this island of roads that OC constrict like throats, OCO every place-name comes freighted with history, and not every place that can be named can be found."words : 7636
