On Walking On looks outward onto-or rather, walks through-the work of various writers for whom walking was or is an important element of daily life. The number of writers who were or are serious walkers is striking, and the connection goes back to antiquity, more recently including Woolf, Nerval, Sand, Debord, Sebald, and many others.

At last a major anthology of New Narrative, the movement fueled by punk, pop, porn, French theory, and social struggle to change writing forever.

The poems center the experience of the outsider, whether she is an immigrant, a woman, or queer.Sometimes direct, sometimes abstract, these poems engage different structures, forms, and experiences while addressing the sharp realities of family, sexuality, and immigration.

Written and arranged in an experimental mode akin to music or choreography, these fragmented lyrics create space and resonance honouring the physical splendour of both the body and the poem. This new edition includes several new poetic sequences and an extended essay.
