Overview
The first of a three-volume project titled """"Exquisite History"""", """"The Land of Wandering"""" offers a combination of art and poetry centered around desire, nostalgia, and the restless spirit that leads us to wander.

Reviews
If our story begins when desire enters us - desire that is etiologically bound to blown threshold, banishment, exile - then what is the land of wandering but the abyssal precinct of our restless, yearning soul-making? Like the ancestral Cain, 'a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth,' we are - whether haunted by a terrible nostalgia for a lost, symbiotic language or blown by iconoclastic negative winds of anomie - still wandering. Any ephemeral dream of the garden is primeval; it is in the land of wandering that our exquisite history begins. - Lisa Russ Spaar
