    About this ebook

    Prepare to be captivated by simplicity and gentleness. Be ready to share the poet's anger at some of the outrageous happenings that threaten our lives and the beauty of the earth.

    Travelogue takes you on a world tour where you will walk quietly beside a gently flowing river in Ambleside, dance to the African drum under a Grecian moon, then sit in a public place to ponder the mood of the great River Ouse. Just as this cover collage of her sketches is global, so is the range of poems.
