The 50 poems in this collection are inspired by different travel destinations around the world. From Hawaii to New Zealand, and from Finland to South Africa, this collection moves through many of the compass points on a traveller's atlas. While the main theme is travel, the notion of time is also a constant presence. The poems echo a traveller's footsteps over a period of some three decades, but also the footsteps of others, through history and the present day, with one eye on the future. "... life for us from this point on means chasing lions in our pyjamas."
