  abstract: Drawing on materials from local, historical and personal sources, she creates a new territory of the mind that invites the reader to see similarity as well as difference between these distinct regions of the United States. Stressing the ways in which mundane physical locations or daily routines can possess human significance beyond the immediate, Which Way Was North approaches elements such as wild grape vines and country cemeteries, along with subway preachers and weeds in sidewalk cracks, as vital starting points for reflection. Fundamentally, Wiese's poems show that our individual powers of observation remain our most life-affirming means of response to the existential questions posed by our surroundings, regardless of which place we happen to call home. One of the most important questions in our lives, as the title of the collection implies, continues to be: how do we maintain our spiritual and imaginative equilibrium in a twenty-first-century world of artificial intelligence that increasingly instructs us to forgo the personal compass?
