Specificatii
If I don't get back on the road I'm going to lose my dog-damn mind
howling mad and barking crazy like some burning saint. ... So
begins the journey, one of many in a two-decade stretch of living
out of a backpack upon the open road - often without a destination,
but never without a purpose. Vagabond Song: Neo-Haibun from the
Peregrine Journals blends travel memoir with poetry to recount the
author's days of hitchhiking and road trip adventures. With
excursions to Central America, Britain, and throughout the American
West and Midwest, the book follows in the tradition of Bashō's
haibun classics such as Narrow Road to the Deep North and Records
of a Weather-Exposed Skeleton. Amid stories that are often humorous
and sometimes harrowing, lies a strong foundation of commitment to
wild spaces, freedom (in all its precariousness) and the
transformative power of poetry. Setting out from a small cabin in
northern Michigan, Beaudin hits the road to find a poetry of
freedom and wilderness, both physical and psychic. He confronts the
ravages of history, religion and capitalism, as well as his own
fears and hypocrisies while always seeking the lessons found in the
wild spaces of the earth and the mind. Each chapter is a different
road, from M-46 to West Elk Loop, from the A1 to the Chicken Bus
Highway. The roads are presented as movements in a musical
composition, separated by interludes hinting at the adventures of
the perhaps apocryphal Miscellaneous Jones, the Ur-Traveler, and
his companions Zorba Chaos and Moses Om. Brief periods of being off
the road are recounted as caesurae, moments of silence within a
piece of music. As a whole it becomes, as William Hjortsburg,
author of Jubilee Hitchhiker: The Life and Times of Richard
Brautigan, calls it, a poet's song to the rewards of wandering and
the joy of the highway. The book includes a foreword by
poet/essayist William Heyen and cover art and interior sketches by
well-known Montana artist Edd Enders.
