An act of petty theft on a trolley in Norway acts as the seed for the first book of the One Poem Series, Elementary Geography; a book that considers the uncertain and unmarked paths of life. An appropriate theme as Kate Jordahl and Don Drake launch their new 6 book series that will span 3 years.
Photographs by Kate Jordahl
Poem by Paal-Helge Haugen
Translation by Roger Greenwald
Rock-cut Basin The silver gelatin print included in Elementary Geography
In the afterword to this volume, Kate recounts the anecdote of the trolley; the story of how Mr. Haugen's poem came into her life to spawn the first dialog in the series.
The trolley is a key landmark on the crooked, unmapped road.
