Road Worrier Sandra Anfang

In this bold and exhilarating collection, much-published and award-winning poet Sandra Anfang invites us to tag along with her on a whirlwind tour of out-of-the-way places, among them: Jamaica, the Mayan ruins of the Yucatan, Costa Rica, Tunisia, and the American south and southwest. You'll experience what it's like to work on an archaeological dig, photograph polar bears north of the Arctic Circle, and eat Buffalo fish at a cafÉ in Memphis. These poems dish up the flavors and textures of each adventure, and simultaneously track her evolution as a young and middle-aged pioneer trying to find equilibrium in new and often startling settings. Road Worrier showcases her most vivid and nuanced writing, and shimmers with the colors and landscapes of each locale she visits.
