Deep Travel, winner of a 2008 Independent Publisher Book Award Gold Medal, brings together thirty-four contemporary American poets whose work has been significantly informed by international travel or by living abroad. The book includes poems by Pulitzer Prize-winners as well as mid-career and emerging writers. Participating poets also contributed original prose statements on how travel has deepened their work, their understanding of poetry's aesthetic and human value, and their sense of self and "Other."
This anthology has been used successfully at colleges and universities in travel writing and poetry writing courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels; the collection is appropriate for a wide variety of courses in writing and literature, including contemporary literature and American literature courses, as well as courses examining American perspectives and aesthetic responses to other cultures. Ninebark is committed to keeping its books in print, affordable, and available, so the anthology is a good choice for regularly offered courses as well as special topics seminars.
