Poetry. After 10 years, Michael Rothenberg is revisiting Paris, by himself, for 28 days. In this unique poetry journal, Rothenberg reflects daily on his trip, in the tradition of the journal writer traveler -- think Basho or Kerouac. Of Rothenberg, Ira Cohen writes, "This is a poet who is going somewhere. Hot on the trail of the essence he will twist your nipples, give you God painting himself into existence. The poet rips off his iron mask and reveals himself to himself with grace and seduction. All this and the Eiffel Tower too."

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES,
By Ross Emanuel (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Paris Journals (Paperback)
A must buy for every traveler to Paris. Wherever Michael Rothenberg goes you want to go with him. He sees it all in every exhibition. Behind each painting another imagination conjured in penetrating reflection. He has poetry by the throat and drags it around with him. Genius and tenacity. He is the troubadour.Not cool objectivity but personal obsession. Brandishing a baguette as he mounts the Eiffel Tower to call out his own liberation. There's something to discover here and Rothenberg makes it seem easy. With Rothenberg, it's always Romance. and always the first time.

refreshing,
By Larry Sawyer (Dayton, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Paris Journals (Paperback)
Refreshing that Michael Rothenberg has written the 'Paris Journals' ...as a relative novice to Euro travel (I spent a month or two in the Greek isles) I found that reading this great book made me want to find out for myself. It's like an open doorway leading to the psyche of an interesting friend. From beginning to end, well worth the trip...
