Summary:
The poems of this collection attempt to bridge and break interpretive and formal borders. The speaker's voice is sometimes cohesive, sometimes fragmented. The title alludes to images in the poems: to the sea, the stars, storms, and of navigations not so much of specific places, but of motion or directions that are often tenuously connected or abstract. These poems are explorations, wonderings, and experiments. The speaker's voice shifts like the wind, sometimes leading toward a destination and other times remaining lost. The poems require navigation as the reader is called upon to engage in the process of finding the way---of making way---and participating with the poet in the process of meaning making.
