Award-winning poet Chris Pannell's latest collection, Adventurize Your Summer!, is a wide-ranging look at travel, art and life. The author writes poems about the "Eastern Migrating Tourist," and the indifference of the waters of the Nile, with many stops in between. Pannell gives equal time to great paintings and to the retired cab driver on dialysis; he is as adept writing about the Beach Boys as describing the cafés of Lisbon. Hopscotching through time and space, the poems in Adventurize Your Summer! are a study in humanity, filled with keen observation, touched with both sorrow and the wry observation that life is never what is promised in the marketing copy.
