Inspired during a sabbatical on the beaches of Mexico, this collection of poems and verse was first published in 2004 and became a Canadian bestseller for poetry. 
 
This second edition was created as a companion book to Fragments of French, an exquisitely detailed travelogue—and the love story behind these poems.
 
“I don’t think there could ever be too many poets. By writing poetry, even those poems that fail and fail miserably, we honor and affirm life. We say ‘We loved the Earth, but could not stay.'”
—Ted Kooser
