Marriage Map is not the usual love story. This poetry collection begins with a meeting recounted in two poems, “The Day the Crane Fell” and “Broadway and 8th,” and ends with a poem evoking a Chagall-like, Klezmer-filled marriage. The protagonists are not young lovers with their life stories yet to unfold, though much still lies ahead for them. Poems map the space between meeting and marriage: how the lovers learn to listen to each other and hear the voices of family, past lovers, divorce and death and discover what is genuine and enduring.
