Synopsis
Identified, pressed, touched repeatedly or restlessly,’ pleasured, hankered after, pointed at with the finger. Laura Wetherington means everything, all of everything. The map is not the territory,’ said Alfred Korzybski. Perhaps Wetherington’s map is the territory. All I want is universe,’ she winks." C.S. Giscombe, National Poetry Series judge
From You Slip Through My Fingers”:
This is a verb: your fingers.
This is a noun: my
desire. They make
a sentence: you finger
my desire.
Strong, cathartic language on subjects ranging as wide as orgasm as deep as music, as timely as place, these debut poems speak clearly to history both personal and liberatory.
Laura Wetherington, a Virginia native, teaches creative writing at Eastern Michigan University. She co-founded and co-edits Textsound, an online journal of experimental poetry and sound.

Review
"A Map Predetermined and Chance fits the bill to a T. And as Laura Wetherington writes, "Memory becomes a tribute to stealing." Let me add to her qualities--humble, folksy, romantic, tough, inventive, and not over-programmed. She takes chances." -The Brooklyn Rail
"This book of poems is also a dare. Can you be an operator of language and still let yourself get as close to the truth as possible? Can you survive it? Can you live with how temporary it all is?" -The Poetry Project Newsletter
