Suggestions from some author's trips to Africa, India, Nepal, South America and Europe. With a Note by David w. Seaman and Preface by Francesco Muzzioli, among the major experts of avant-garde.

Critics:
“The real question is not so much in the relationship between reality and fantasy, which also are interwoven with great pleasure and unusual outcomes; it is rather in the way the elsewhere is seen. [...] India, Africa: the reader will recompose the map and routes. And they will see that the “Equatorial winds” lead back to the origin, and, en passant, also to the personal one of the places of life and experience. But what really matters, though, is the transformation of the mind”. (Francesco Muzzioli)
"This safari is conducted by the most humble means: we imagine buses, rickshaws, endless pathways sandal-footed. This leads her to write poetry that comes together in shreds of words and phrases that straggle down the page like stumbling, dedicated pilgrims to meaning. She adds photographs, black and white images that seem to reveal the intimate life of the countries she visits" (David W. Seaman)
