Overview

Exploring the theme of traveling in depth, this new collection of poems has a pervasive, elegiac quality, which demonstrates the many different types of journeys—both real and imagined—that one must face in life. These incisive narratives work more by implication than explication with shorter lines; brief poignant descriptions; and minimalist dialogue.

Reviews

"Pugh makes memorable documentaries of life's surprises and ironies, of human folly . . . juggling ideas and language, but educating us too. Thoroughly recommended." —London Review Magazine

"This slim volume is engaging, surprising and crafted with great care." —Poetry Review
