Synopsis

Deep Travel - At Home In The [Burning] World is a book of contemporary haibun by the poet Dane Cervine. Underlying this series of journeys-through the great Midwest of America, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, a bit of French countryside, Italy, then later through New England-is an experience of pilgrimage. The Japanese poet Basho's famous book Narrow Road to the Interior explored both "interiors": of countryside and heart-mind. Ancient Zen poets grounded their work in Nature itself, the passing seasons infiltrating words with blossom and decay. Today, climate change appears as the ubiquitous background in many travels. In Deep Travel, this includes a cataclysmic fire in California at the author's ancestral home, unfolding at the end of his journey in drought-stricken Turin, Italy. The quest: to find a sense of home in this fragile, yet resilient, world.
