“Neil Shepard's (T)RAVEL/ UN(T)RAVEL takes us from the sublime -- Paris in Spring, sunset on Corfu -- to an unscheduled toilet stop in a Chinese desert as fellow passengers cheer. Yes, there's light at the heart of this book; but darkness too, as the world and the traveler unravel and re-ravel, fall together, come apart. Shepard proves the best sort of traveling companion -- lively, observant, incisive, eloquent, charmed by the strange and familiar, the old and new. Climb aboard these poems. Enjoy the ride.” WorldHeartBookLightTogetherFallEnjoyDarknessStrangeProveSpringFellowsFamiliarChineseDesertParisClimbsSunsetCompanionCheerTravelerSublimeToiletsLivelyPassengersEloquentCharmedObservantOld And NewRavel Author:Charles Harper Webb
