It's richly illustrated and provides an encouraging story for the determined traveler.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&amp;blog=6766929&amp;post=10529&amp;subd=thelongestchapter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Give Over, Graymalkin" is Gaylord Brewer's eighth collection of poetry, but it's the first I've read of his work. Here's a glimpse into Brewer's new poems that take us to India, Spain and France, and also celebrate the "dead metaphors" of life.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&amp;blog=6766929&amp;post=9091&amp;subd=thelongestchapter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A collection of short stories by a Canadian author arrived in the mail this week, and I couldn't put it down. Then, I found my nose deep into Newfoundland territory as I read reviews about Michael Crummey's new novel. Amidst the Canadians, also, former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins. Here's what I know of these three upcoming books.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&amp;blog=6766929&amp;post=8119&amp;subd=thelongestchapter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
