Travel. It's how we learn. It's how we survive. Whether we y, sail, or trek, travel begs us to experience the planet through the minds of its inhabitants via their art, their facility with language or science or just plain living. Travel's urge, then, is based on the promise that we're all one people, one very alive being. is is no garden variety travelogue in poetic form, nor an essay on human limitations and promise. In this collection, the poet digs deeply into human nature, surfacing with anger, beauty, harshness, and humor. All are bers of the cloth with which we adorn our Mother Earth. e hope is that in remembering each of us will be drawn to take part in re-membering the jigsaw bits of life on our sometimes fractious planetary home.
