Navigating endless olive groves, vineyards, bottles of wine, gypsy dogs, nudists, wild boars, the "Valley of the Moon" and cancelled flights, Camino Chaos is laced with Torti's signature sarcasm, Super Bock, watermelon-eating sheep, U-turns, profanity, insanity history and heroics.
In poetry that bears witness to the wonders, preoccupations, and life and death matters of going to sea in waters often poorly charted, What seas sing through our bones is a hymn for everyone.
This Saturday afternoon, I'll be at LaHave River Books for a reading and conversation about Hell of a Ride. I'd love to see you there. @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social @writersfedofns.bsky.social #booksky #canlit
