I'd consider buying it just for that if it were a bit cheaper. Is it odd that I’m more attracted to the beautiful cover, than I am to the idea of a poetry book?

The sight of the Gypsies was always a source of both delight and fascination. The way they would wrap their babies, papoose style...also in vividly colored wraps. Mothers with long braded hair with colorful ribbon weaved throughout their braids. The men with their beards & mousatches...and the music...always the music. Their music was as distinct as they were. One thing that I saw as most remarkable...in spite of what must have been an difficult lifestyle...always a smile. Seeing them bathe their horses in the streams was something I'll never forget. I'm very grateful that many of this I caught on film, as it's a constant reminder...that every life...touches every other life. I, too, have spent considerable time in Eastern Europe.

It's a very interesting look at Central/Eastern European gypsies-I read it earlier this year. :) Both of those poems were powerful; I love the image of houses nibbling and grazing!

The picture is incredible! I have a special place in my heart for gypsies because while growing up in Spain we were friends with many of them, and I saw at a very young age the racism they suffered, and classicism as well. This book sounds like a great read!!! Thank you for the review! Oh, this does sound good to have! The picture is incredible!
