Joan, congratulations to a special anthology 22nd, being a selection of your previously cooking for beginners published poems traveling, plus many new ones. But - for the sake of completeness, why this continued cooking for beginners passion to travel and travel poems about traveling?
Since 1979, I explore foreign countries. From the U.S., South America, Scandinavia, Europe, Russia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Japan, China, the British Isles, Canada, India, Korea, among others - and later Africa: Egypt, Morocco, Zanzibar, cooking for beginners Kenya. Travel has always cooking for beginners been linked to the processing of an emotional incident, whether the processing of the death of a relationship or to get more perspective on myself.

The poem is always in the place of the absent: the poem representing what is not. When you write a poem about a place or person writing you confirm that it is not there anymore. The poem is a visa-by-default. cooking for beginners It responds cooking for beginners to Derrida's view of the La carte postale cooking for beginners ...
Travel stories and descriptions are obviously not anything unusual in our literature not. Nevertheless, the theme has rarely, if ever, so consistently maintained as you with this publication you do.

In my opinion it is a very important statement about the nature of these poems. Can you expound on this for us, please?
