Two Maps of Emery is Laurence Hutchman's second book dedicated to the place in North York called Emery. Most in the GTA would not know of this place. But Hutchman brings it back to life in this book of memoir--styled poetry.
Divided into two sections: 'The First Map of Emery' begins with the story of John Graves Simcoe and finishes with the post--war period. 'The Second Map of Emery' details the arrival of families from elsewhere in Canada and Europe. Hutchman adds a personal touch by recounting his own family's journey to this new land as well as his own experiences growing up there.
