Sinopsis
A vivid, traveling voice captures towns, trains, and a nation on the move.
This collection blends lyric poems about roads, cities, rivers, and the people who ride them, painting a portrait of America in motion. Across rousing scenes and intimate vignettes, the verses celebrate life on the road—from bustling cities to quiet landscapes—while exploring themes of memory, longing, and hope. The poetry invites readers to ride along, feel the heartbeat of a changing country, and hear the footsteps of travelers in a growing land.
- Travel-inspired poems set in places like Colorado springs, Denver, and Saint Paul, among others.
- Emotional snapshots ranging from love and friendship to labor, loss, and resilience.
- Rhythmic language, traditional verse forms, and lyrical refrains that echo popular ballads and songs.
- A window into American life at a time of change, seen through a traveler’s eye.

Reseña del editor
Soul of Sapho! if to-night, When my boat is drifting near Your fair island, spirit bright; If I sing, and if you hear, From your island in the sea, Soul of Sapho, signal me. Soul of Sapho! they have said That your hair, tho not of gold, Made a halo for your head; And your eyes, I have been told, Were like stars. O! from the sea, Soul of Sapho, speak to me. Soul of Sapho, awake, awake, Wake and tune your harp again; While the foaming billows break Let your song sweep oer the main; From your island in the sea, Soul of Sapho, sing to me.
