whereabouts

Published by McGill-Queen’s University Press 2021

In this riddling and seeking book of poems, Edward Carson navigates the emotional, often contradictory intelligence of the heart and mind. In three interrelated segments, whereabouts powerfully charts the tight emotional spaces between thinking and language, beauty and perception, love and the polemics of self and other.

“In whereabouts, Edward Carson’s remarkable poems form a network of synaptic connections that put a mind into question and reveal a mind in the act of questioning. In these poetic maps and countermaps, thinking is unmoored from conventional thought and reimagined as an “atlas of emotions,” as “a weather of its own making.” These are poems to get lost and found in.” 

– Adam Dickinson, author of Anatomic
