Book excerpt: About two decades in the making, this is a new volume of poetry on Niyi Osundare's journeys in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Running through the poems is the poet's exploration of the ways places make people and people make places, and the primordial role of the road as agent of separation and connection. The poet's peregrinations take him through an astounding array of the world's landscapes, historical landmarks, and cultural particularities, producing a multiplicity of ideas which demonstrate the essential similarities in the human experience.
