Giovanni Cecchetti's Nomad Diary begins with �The Great Valley�, a superb long poem which shows the course of the planet framing the course of humankind and civilization. Following poems feature mesmerizing crocodiles, crazy cypresses, giant mosquitoes, the �pollen of jazz� of New Orleans, drunken islands, and an enchanted teenager in the sea. A short collection of elegant epigrams rounds out the volume. The West and Southwest were dear to Cecchetti and appear throughout the book. His essay �On Writing Poetry in a Foreign Land� has been translated here by Raymond Petrillo.
