Marriage Map
Marriage Map is not the usual love story. This book of poems begins with a meeting—”The Day the Crane Fell” and “Broadway and 8th”—and ends with a Chagall- like, Klezmer-filled marriage. The intended are not young lovers with their life stories yet to unfold. Much lies ahead but many life chapters would seem to have concluded—or have they? Between meeting and marriage are the poems of the map, how they learn to listen to one another, to hear the voices of family, past lovers, divorce and death that live within; how they learn to hear what is genuine and enduring.
“Lewis leaves us with a whole, fuller comprehension of love through one heart’s journey that lingers long after turning the last page.” (Kamilah Aisha Moon)
