Although perhaps best known for her dystopian novels, which see experiments in the jailing system going terribly wrong, or totalitarian states controlling reproduction to detrimental effect, Canadian writer Margaret Atwood also writes poetry. Comprised of seven stanzas, one such poem, titled Journey to the Interior, describes a trip through a changing landscape, “from point to point”. It is clear, as the verse continues, however, that the journey is an internal one – a search for self-discovery. A downward spiral, it concludes that one’s mind is perhaps the most treacherous of all landscapes, a place to be wary of, and to take care when embarking on any kind of journey.
