Maps To The Vanishing

In Maps To the Vanishing, Nate Maxson is the cartographer who guides us through the labyrinthine nature of our impermanent existence. In these poems, we lose ourselves within the shifting geographies of memory and history. Under "the shadow of the sound and the shadow of the weight," Maxson asks us to peep the comet and listen for the echo over the remnants of all the landscapes in this universe. From Caravaggio to imperialism, physics to Stradivari, Mars to Maxson's own past, he pushes us to consider "what we might be willing to burn if it meant we could remember." -James Croal Jackson, author of Our Past Leaves "This is the way," Nate Maxson intones, "Come inside." A perfect introduction to another beautifully composed, versatile collection of poems. Maps to the Vanishing is the struggle between hope and terminal cynicism that every single one of us needs to read right now. I'm begging you to read one of the best poetry collections you're going to find in 2021. -Gabriel Ricard, author of The Oddities on Saturday Night and Clouds of Hungry Dogs Some of the most uniquely threaded and captivating verse you'll find today. Language is cool again and if you don't think so look behind you, Language is gonna sort you out. -Barracuda Guarisco, author of Uncomfortable Music and EIC of @rlysrslit
