Publisher's Synopsis
Deep Travel has led writers from the Himalayan peaks of Nepal to the Saharan sands of Morocco, from the jungles of Mexico to the gitano caves in Spain. Just as compelling as those exterior landscapes we travel are the interior landscapes we encounter-the terrain of own thoughts and emotions. The writers in this anthology address both inner and outer adventures through stories, poems, and vignettes that are as informative as a travelogue yet as revelatory as a journal. During our trips, we collect many things-cactus silk scarves, handfuls of tin milagros-but the best souvenirs lie within this book: the observations, insights, and reflections that form the heart of Deep Travel.
