Geographies of a Lover

This is a sexually charged travelogue of love, lust, and loss. Drawing inspiration from such works as Pauline Reage’s The Story of O and Marian Engel’s Bear, de Leeuw’s poetry uses the varied landscape of Canada – from the forests of North Vancouver through the Rocky Mountains, the prairies, and all the way to the Maritimes – to map the highs and lows of an explicit and raw sexual journey, from earliest infatuation to insatiable obsession and beyond.
