1) Paperback Book Songs for the Open Road: Poems of Travel and Adventure (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. This collection is divided into three sections, "Songs for the Open Road", "Sea, Rail and Sea", "Home, Rest, and Final Voyages". It contains many of the best- loved poems in the English language, poems not necessarily associated with subjects of Travel and Adventure, though they may touch upon them.
One of the great examples is an Emily Dickinson selection"
"There is no frigate
like a book
To take us
Lands away.
Nor any corvette
like a page
of prancing
Poetry.
This traverse
may the poorest take
Without the oppress
of Toll.
How frugal
is the Chariot
that bears a human soul.
The title poem is from Whitman, and it sets the tone for what should be a highly enjoyable vogage, of mind, heart and soul.¤ 2) Paperback Book Songs for the Open Road: Poems of Travel and Adventure (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. It´s hard to believe how many of the best poems in English are in this thin little book -- ninety poems for a dollar. I second the action of the Poetry Project in giving it free to lots of people. Buy one for your glove compartment, your office, your study, and your best reader friend!¤ 3) Paperback Book Songs for the Open Road: Poems of Travel and Adventure (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications.
