The Voyage and the Vision: and other poems of adventure and enlightenment

By Stephen Stockwell

This book takes epic verse into new and sometimes astounding directions. A heretic priest turned spice trader crosses time to tell the true story of the first circumnavigation of Earth, not by Magellan, as commonly thought, but by his slave Enrique. Cultural icons, Allen Ginsberg, Peggy Guggenheim and Ezra Pound, dancing around each other in 60s
