I don't write prose inspired by travel, but I write much poetry because of it (so unfortunately I won't be entering your contest). In fact, a forthcoming chapbook is entirely about travel--"Stroking David's Leg," coming from FootHills Publishing. And a small poster-sized broadside on papers I made to hold poems about Italy was released a few months ago by Brick Bat Revue. Images that come when I travel just won't leave me alone--not ever. Not long ago I wrote a poem about Bali, and I was there probably fifteen years ago. So it goes. Have a great time with your contest. I live in Sunnyvale, so if you have any upcoming readings, etc., please let me know. Stray--great name for a traveler.--Best regards, Ellaraine Lockie Jonathan–After reading about your philosophy on Allison Joseph’s list, I want to write and tell you that I absolutely concur about writing and travel.
