First published in 1985, We Say We Love Each Other collects a series of what Pratt terms "poetic maps" as she searches for artistic and lesbian space in a difficult world. Waulking Song and the Maps poems contain some draft portions of later Walking Back Up Depot Street poems. The subseries contains correspondence, drafts, and proofs arranged chronologically. Correspondence pertains to reviews, publicity, and the book's publishers, both original publisher Spinsters Ink/Aunt Lute Press and Firebrand Books, who reissued the book in 1992.
