title: A Map to the Door of No Return: Notes to Belonging
author:  Dionne Brand 
description: Open it anywhere and start reading and it makes sense. her true home is not Africa, the Caribbean or Canada, but poetry. -- <i>Ottawa Citizen</i><br /><br />Moving and evocative. Brands examination of her own personal odyssey is fascinating. -- <i>The Edmonton Journal</i><br /><br />"Brand's is a voice both brave and beautiful." -- <i>NOW<br /><br /></i>"Dionne Brand -- exults in the power of language and deploys it to lure us from harsh reality to metaphysical heights -- [her] prose, so close to poetry, [is] almost musical." -- <i>National Post<br /><br /></i>"Brand has two gifts that are incendiary in combination: a concise and intelligent grasp of the subtleties of emotion and an apparently effortless facility with the language. The result is an extraordinary ability to capture the flicker of experience." -- <i>The Globe and Mail<br /><br /></i>"Brand's prose pays sharp attention to detail, with sensual, often playful descriptions. She injects a rhythm into her language and creates characters who burst with colour. This is a delicately structured, beautifully written novel, infused with rare emotional clarity." -- <i>The Independent</i>, UK<br /><br />"<i>At The Full and Change of the Moon</i> is a hypnotically compelling, magical set of tales -- an unsettling and beautifully written novel." -- <i>Los Angeles Times</i>, A Best Book of 1999
