Terra Incognita
Angebote / Angebote:
Titled after the Latin term for "unknown land"--a cartographical expression referring to regions that have not yet been mapped or documented--Terra Incognita is a collection of poems that creatively explores various racial discourses and interracial crossings buried in history's grand narratives. Set against the similarities as well as incongruities of the Canadian/American backdrop of race relations, Terra Incognita explores the cultural memory and legacy of those whose histories have been the site of erasure, and who have thus--riffing on the Heraclitus's dictum that "geography is fate"--been forced to redraw themselves into the texts of history. Finally, Terra Incognita is a collection that delves into the malleable borders of identity and questions what it means to move physically and spiritually, for our bodies to arrive and depart, our souls to relocate and change their scope.
