These poems illuminate a lifetime of travels as well as the intimate landscape of New Mexico, his homeland for fifty years.

Shiki's distinctive vision and direct expression make a tone recognizably his own, conveyed beautifully in these pages' translations.

These poems move out from the Southwestern desert to use the world as a locale for exploration and expression, from Mexico, Alaska, and San Francisco, to Benares, India and also the New Mexico State Penitentiary. Moving from place to place, revealing both political protest and the solace of love, Brandi creates a sense of a surreal that frees the reader from the limitations of the ordinary.

Brandi's collection reflects his keen ear, offbeat humor, spiritual insight, and love for all that illuminates the mind and heart.

A wonderful introduction to haiku for the writer and reader alike.

Brandi gives us poems of rare precision, charm and truth."--Joanne Kyger

A dazzling new collection by this well-known poet/traveler from the American Southwest.

In this collection of essays, poet, painter, and world traveler John Brandi reveals his vision of the American Southwest, his home of thirty years. Brandi's lyrical writing captures the desert's wild, open spaces and leads readers into the abodes of remote desert dwellers.

In its lyricism and rich detail, this collection of sixteen meditations is very much in the tradition of Joseph Wood Krutch's The Desert Year. In the author's knowing hands, the desert landscape of the American Southwest and northern New Mexico is lifted into the realm of magic: shamans float in the arid air and flowers bloom blindingly bright after a desert rain.

Poetry. A major collection of Brandi's work, spanning nearly thirty years of travel--from early poems written in South America to those from India, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, the Arctic, the North American outback, the deep solitude of New Mexico's mountains, and always from the continent of the heart. "Brandi's sandy poem mandalas, crisscrossing back and forth on their own paths, begin to fill out landscapes in depth"--Gary Snyder.
