Journal of an Itinerant Artist

These essays flow rhythmically one into the other; they move softly, yet each human contact takes the reader to its poignant crescendo. They are works of a man who embodies the characteristic that unites all religions: compassion,understanding and humanity.

A Splendid Collection of Literary Essays

JOURNAL OF AN ITINERANT ARTIST, Drew Bacigalupa's 1977 essays that first appeared in a local Sunday newspaper, are just as fresh in 2000 as when they were written a quarter century ago. That's the way with good literature. Bacigalupa's vision of the arts and humanities and how they affect our thoughts and our lives stimulates the reader to new heights of understanding the people around us. He touches our lives by sharing a compelling sense of family. The title, incorporating the word "itinerant," may be misleading. A Jack Kerouac road trip with drugs, this is not. Home-based in Santa Fe, Bacigalupa draws from his travels and brings a global relevance to the diverse culture of the American Southwest.
