“Like a well-traveled rucksack, this collection speaks of journeys, the poet animmigrant setting out from the home country of his imagination. Each poem servesas a vehicle and destination, and the scattered outposts—Iceland, the Dakotas, theQuinault River, Andalusia—lay their claims to portions of the poet’s character,memory, heritage. As well, we find our own homes in the reading.”—John Willson, Pushcart Prize winner and author of The Son We Had“Evocative poems beckon one to follow in his footsteps through the territoriesof youth and age, across the varied landscapes of Puget sound, Dakota prairies,and Iceland. Along the way, artfully rendered images capture the spirits of thecharacters who inhabit these poems, offering thoughtful reflection on the heartand human experience.—Kristen Gard Hotchkiss, Bainbridge Island poet  3
