But abroad, writing about a life that can't help but seem elusive, the charlatan in oneself may feel all too exposed. Limited to the surface, to the most fortuitous of impressions, how can a foreign pair of eyes hope to pen anything that can vie with something an insider, born there, carrying that landscape in his bones, might write?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than four decades, poet Robin Magowan has journeyed in search of ecstatic spiritual experiences. Hitchhiking and walking, by bus or boat or when necessary by horse, he has explored lands as exotic as Nepal and New Guinea, as classic as Italy or France, and as forgotten as Persia and pre-Castro Cuba. All the while he has submerged himself, whether in the mysteries of Haitian voodoo or the simples pleasures of Burgundian peasant life. Known for the beauty, wit, and expressive power of his prose, Magowan's writing vibrates with the intensity of an outsider who crawls into the skin of a country--and emerges transformed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Magowan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810160927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810160927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marlboro Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.43w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2002 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2002 pg. 202","brand":"Robin Magowan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065163657471,"sku":"9780810160927","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15773b8c-d952-469f-8f8d-336381ff19a6.jpg?v=1768673411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/improbable-journeys-robin-magowan-9780810160927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
