Borderlines

By Alan Botsford

A wonderful gang of talkative alter egos meets the ego in a cosmic expatriate
milieu and the ego tells their story, which is the intriguing inner and outer journey
of the poet Alan Botsford himself.
--Sarah Arvio, author of Cry Back My Sea: 48 Poems in 6 Waves

In these poems of self and world, an American abroad, living in Japan, with
a copy of Walt Whitman under his arm, sets out on the open road of the
imagination, absorbing and transcending cultural constructions of that very
self and world, ventriloquizing voices that speak back frequently at and to
the author, as they embody multitudes, exemplifying the interconnectedness
and contingency of identity, language, place, and emotion. Borderlines offers
a new vision, looking both ways, inward and outward, ahead and behind,
crossing borders, in an embrace centered ultimately in love.
--Michael Sowder, author of Sacred Letters: Sanskrit, Yoga,
and Awakening the Divine
