LON THE KOUT:
I HAVE A CONFESSION: I don't use maps. I don’t think I actually own one. I’m a wistful wanderer. Yet I can appreciate their order: pin-sharp grid lines criss-crossing the paper, the satisfyingly crisp folds. A map’s cartographical perfection is a million miles from the real-world field margins that are bursting with life. Here, you’ll find a different kind of perfect.
