Mapping The Fourth Dimension
"In this collection of poetry, Mapping the Fourth Dimension, Laura Davies Foley meditates upon the death of a significant love with poems that are dreamy and ecstatic. Fused with the terrible knowledge that comes only with direct experience she writes: "I knew then what Dido must have known at her fiery end." Using direct plain language she invites the reader into her world of loss, which is simultaneously, a world suffused with hope."
—Jackson Wheeler, Founder of The Ventura Poetry Festival, Former co-editor of Solo, author of Swimming Past Iceland and contributor to A Near Country: Poems of Loss.
"My hand reaches through the spaces to touch/ the ones who are not there," writes Laura Davies Foley in the title poem of this collection. These poems are eloquent about loss and silence. How does the world look once we realize it will never again be the world we want? Laura Davies Foley's poems ask that question again and again and give us the answers of a lifetime.
—Will Walker, author of Carrying Water.
