Publisher's Synopsis
Adventurous college friends uncover ancient revelations while exploring unmapped territory on an obscure trade route in Central Asia. For the sake of a science experiment, a man fearlessly embarks on an aerial expedition across Montana in the comfort of his wicker lawn chair. And on a remote island southeast of Madagascar, grisly violence arises when a naive traveler doesn't present a gift to those who govern the area... A PLACE TO PAUSE is bulging with absorbing poetry, diverting travelogues, and spirited tales of far-flung adventure.
From savage, small island corruption and monstrous big-game hunting in Africa to hazardous American highways and dubious smuggling exploits in Southeast Asia, we proudly present poetry and prose by Jeff Alphin J.L.Austin, Roger Camp, Lorraine Caputo, Laurel DiGangi, William Doreski, Andrew Edwards, William Fleeson, David Hagerty, Ann Howells, Ben von Jagow, David Klein, Joan Mazza, Warren Merkel, Robin Michel, Michael Robinson Morris, James B. Nicola, Don Noel, Jennifer Swallow, Louise Turan, Ken Wetherington, and Melissent Zumwalt. Plus, new fiction and in-depth interviews with distinguished authors Mary Donaldson-Evans, Mark Jacobs, and Robert Wexelblatt
