Deep Travel

<p>Deep Travel - At Home In The [Burning] World<em> </em>is a book of contemporary <em>haibun </em>by the poet Dane Cervine. Underlying this series of journeys-through the great Midwest of America Portugal Spain Morocco a bit of French countryside Italy then later through New England-is an experience of pilgrimage<em>.</em> The Japanese poet Basho's famous book <em>Narrow Road to the Interior</em> explored both interiors: of countryside and heart-mind. Ancient Zen poets grounded their work in Nature itself the passing seasons infiltrating words with blossom and decay. Today climate change appears as the ubiquitous background in many travels. In <em>Deep Travel </em>this includes a cataclysmic fire in California at the author's ancestral home unfolding at the end of his journey in drought-stricken Turin Italy. The quest: to find a sense of <em>home </em>in this fragile yet resilient world. </p><p><br></p>
