But, as its title suggests, it does so according to the polar opposite of convention. More concerned with subtext than narrative, often childlike in tone, and propelled by the logic of innocence, Gallaher’s poems don’t shy away from a bottom-line sensibility. This is a book filled with swimming pools and bridges, houses and families, the ordinary places, objects, and people that connect us. However, these same things are often misunderstood when it comes to their capacity for danger. Map of the Folded World brings us back to a territory that we never knew we had discovered, as it attempts to locate an ever-shifting present on an ever-changing field.</DIV> 6471476 1 4 2009 Map Of The Folded World total:9|5:5|4:3|3:1|2:0|1:0| 9 40 18 2 4 0 false false Tue Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 13:55:13 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 12:38:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 10:55:22 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 10:55:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 28 22:23:55 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 22:23:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 07:55:28 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 07:55:28 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Sep 26 06:58:24 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 06:58:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 08:54:15 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 08:54:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 20 08:23:09 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 08:14:38 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 08:23:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 16 00:21:53 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 00:21:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jul 06 20:07:37 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 20:07:48 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jun 10 18:23:26 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 18:23:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 16 05:10:40 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 05:10:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 17:36:30 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 17:36:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon May 04 08:05:21 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 08:05:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 13 15:11:39 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 15:11:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Apr 06 19:23:01 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 19:23:01 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 12:05:30 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 12:05:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Mar 25 17:37:31 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 17:37:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 03 06:32:09 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 06:32:20 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6287201
