There are no words…Mapmaker transcends from poem to dream and back again. And like a dream, it stays with you while you are awake. It finds its home deeply rooted in the place where only memories live and experiences that have no words. Yet you have found a way to express them.

Margo, this poem is a treasure, a force both soft and strong. Your language is eloquent yet plain spoken. Congrats on placing in the contest.

This is moving, disturbing. and a lot to process. Must be reread.

When I read "Mapmaker," the song "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," started playing in my head, but I tend to see the world as One Big Musical.
