The product of over a decade's research and writing, the book follows Page as she becomes one of Canada's best-loved and most influential writers. \"A borderline being,\" as she called herself, she recognized the new choices offered to women by modern life but followed only those related to her quest for self-discovery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTracing Page's life through two wars, world travels, the rise of modernist and Canadian cultures, and later Sufi study, biographer Sandra Djwa details the people and events that inspired her work. Page's independent spirit propelled her from Canada to England, from work as a radio actress to a scriptwriter for the National Film Board, from an affair with poet F.R. Scott to an enduring marriage with diplomat Arthur Irwin. Page wrote her story in poems, fiction, diaries, librettos, and her visual art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJourney with No Maps \u003c\/i\u003ereads like a novel, drawing on the poet's voice from interviews, diaries, letters, and writings as well as the voices of her contemporaries.
