Dislocation: poems and illustrations

by Loren Walker

Poet, artist and introvert Loren Walker had the opportunity to travel through Japan for two weeks.... with her very-extroverted mother, Roberta. This chapbook is a record of traveler fatigue and tension, culture shock and self-awareness, a journal of their insights and adventures in central Japan, including Kyoto, Mount Koya, Kurashiki and the Seto Sea. Loren Walker lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island; in addition to poetry, she also writes fantasy and science fiction novels. Her website is www.lorenwalker.net.
