As the title suggests, Walid Bitar understands shift and change -- literally in the rifts between Lebanon and adoptive Canada -- and aesthetically, through a dazzling range of linguistic moves that place him among the most exciting of poet experimenters.
"Quite simply, Maps with Moving Parts is one of the finest books of poetry I have read this year. That it is Walid Bitar's first offering is all the more remarkable." -- Richard Stevenson, ARC
