New York: Pantheon, (1996) dj. Hardcover first edition - A memoir of travelling through modern Greece, a "land of noisy anarchic cities and quiet idyllic towns and harbors" where the influence of the past - the Roman, the Byzantine, the Ottoman - is still felt. The author, an award-winning poet, "conjures a country where history and modernity coexist in often surprising ways, and with the past as an ineluctable backdrop, [she] paints in the everyday details that bring the country and its people vividly to life." xii, 398 pp. ISBN: 0-679421343.
