Deep Travel brings together the work of thirty-four contemporary American poets whose art and whose lives have been significantly enriched by distant journeys. Covering landscapes ranging widely, from Antarctica to Zagreb, from Italy to India to Iraq, these intelligent and intensely felt poems generously weave the reader into the lush diversity of word and world.
