Synopsis:

This appealing original anthology presents a rich selection of verse on the very popular themes of travel and adventure. Included are more than 80 poems by 50 American and British poets, mostly of the 19th and 20th centuries, celebrating the spirit and sentiment of life's many journeys, both real and metaphoric. Included are poems by Whitman, Byron, Millay, Sandburg, Service, Bliss Carman, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Masefield, Langston Hughes, and others on travels and wanderings by foot, ship, train and plane. Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Shelley, Tennyson, Yeats, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Claude McKay, Christina Rossetti and scores of others are also represented in poems of travel as symbolic of life, love, loss and discovery, leaving home and the final return. All lovers of poetry and anyone seized by the siren call of the open road will revel in this remarkably low-priced collection of memorable verse by some of the greatest poets in the English language.
