Improbable Journeys

Still in shrink wrap. Red cloth-covered boards, dust wrapper. 8vo. Prose which vibrates with the intensity of an outsider who crawls into the skin of a country - and emerges transformed. For more than four decades, poet Robin Magowan has journeyed in search of ecstatic spiritual experiences. Hitchhiking and walking, by bus or boat or when necessary by horse, he has explored lands as exotic as Nepal and New Guinea, as classic as Italy or France, and as forgotten as Persia and pre-Castro Cuba.
