Little Wanderer

Poem as lyric travelogue, poet as "little wanderer" - this is the basis for Jennifer Horne's new book of poems set in Greece, Italy, Romania, England, Ireland, and the southern U.S. As connections grow, what responsibilities does that traveler have to the people she meets, the places she stays, their histories? The poems acknowledge both the aesthetic highs and mundane lows of moving about in the world. Yet, despite the vagaries of travel, Horne finds kinship wherever she goes. Sending a series of postcards from destinations as varied as Athens, Bucharest, Prague, Oxford, Sligo, and Tuscaloosa.
