From the Publisher
When Marco Polo was captured by the Genoese he whiled away his
year in prison by dictating a memoir, the Livre des
Merveilles. Polo's Book of Wonders became a raging
best seller before printing presses even existed--Christopher
Columbus travelled with his own carefully-annotated copy. Poet
Lisa Pasold takes Polo's stories about Afghanistan, Russia,
and China to speculate on the transformative effect of
journeys, especially upon those who insist on finding marvels. Lisa
divides her time between Toronto, Ontario and Paris, France.
