Travel Poems, Vol. 1

To see the world, to experience different cultures and new lands; among all our dreams and ambitions, wanderlust seems to play a large part. In the modern day, a few hours on a plane will take us to an entirely different environment. A hundred years ago or more any form of transport would have been far slower paced—but getting there was also part of the adventure, the gradual transition from what is known to what is about to be known. This collection of poems takes us across a wide variety of travels and environments, both real and in the mind. They summon up descriptions and feelings that are sometimes totally unexpected.
