Musical and intimate, Priscilla Long’s Cartographies of Home opens with poems centered on a rural childhood and travels to the rebellion in America of the 1960s and 1970s, and onto an old age in the Pacific Northwest. The questions that infuse this collection are: What was home? What is home? Where would home be if I had one? What is home now? What part does love have in home? What part does political life have in the home? What about art? For Long home includes America, the environment, the plants and animals, art and cultural history, the childhood home, the brother, the twin sister, the intimate partner. These are luscious poems of grief and praise.

Cartographies of Home is a soulful, erudite, and ultimately playful
look at life in flight.
