Ever since Boy Scout days Roger Legg has obtained great pleasure from long-distance walking. On the whole he does not like following footpath routes designated by Acts of Parliament, nor following books of instructions on how to get from A to B ... proceed for one mile; turn left at the farm gate; be careful of the marsh at the bottom of hill ..... It all sounds a bit like joining the army and often fails to get the walker off the beaten track. Rather he prefers to plan his own route, to use map and compass. This book is a record of six journeys which he made in the British Isles during the years 1980 to 1991. He hopes the reader will enjoy his adventures; as that great walker George Borrow said many years ago: ..... these British Islands ... where more strange things are every day occurring, whether in road or street, house or dingle

In this poetic narrative, James Dott proves himself a wondrous myth-maker within the incomparable economy of seventeen scenes. Another Shore keeps its secrets and its tensions by withholding explanation. As a spellbound reader, I have followed the basket-weavers' guidance: "Over north and under east/over south and under west/repeat" (from Basketry). Karin Temple, author of Child of War, So Great a Cloud of Witnesses, and Chalice of Tears James Dott's poems offer both visionary and humane insights. They draw us into a world where the natural world is matched with the inner landscape of self-awareness. His poems are filled with intelligent and artistic values. They will lead you into introspection. David Bogue, editor, Turtle Island Quarterly In this masterful narrative poem cycle, James Dott devotes his large gift to reimagining the bleak and grueling settlement of Plymouth Harbor more than four centuries ago, and one orphaned woman's unwanted escape from it. Her remarkable story of hard loss and discovered love carries from gentle Devon to the mountains of Massachusetts, in sharp images and lyrics as lovely as "through the shifting slur of leaves, /a thrush's song" and "a sound/smaller than shrew speech". If the story is essentially human, one of immigrant and indigene, it is told just as much through the sensibilities, voices, and actions of the ocean, raven, loon, and fire. The American colonial experience will never be quite the same for me after reading Another Shore. Robert Michael Pyle, author of Evolution of the Genus Iris and Chinook & Chanterelle

In an extraordinary blend of narrative history, personal recollection, & oral testimony, the author presents a sweeping history of Asian Americans. He writes of the Chinese who laid tracks for the transcontinental railroad, of plantation laborers in the canefields of Hawaii, of "picture brides" marrying strangers in the hope of becoming part of the American dream. He tells stories of Japanese Americans behind the barbed wire of U.S. internment camps during World War II, Hmong refugees tragically unable to adjust to Wisconsin's alien climate & culture, & Asian American students stigmatized by the stereotype of the "model minority." This is a powerful & moving work that will resonate for all Americans, who together make up a nation of immigrants from other shores.

Gao Xingjian is the leading Chinese dramatist of our time. He is also one of the most moving and literary writers for the contemporary stage. His plays have been performed all around the world, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, the Ivory Coast, the United States, France, Germany and other European countries. Born and educated in China, Gao studied French literature at the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute between 1957-1962. After the Cultural Revolution, he became a resident playwright at the Beijing People's Art Theatre. His works, including Bus Stop, Absolute Signal, and Wilderness Man, were trend-setting and have created many controversies and a wave of experimental drama in China. In 1987 he settled in Paris, France and continued to write in Chinese and in French. He was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Government in 1992. The present collection contains five of Gao Xingjian's most recent works: The Other Shore (1986), Between Life and Death (1991), Dialogue and Rebuttal (1992), Nocturnal Wanderer (1993), and Weekend Quartet (1995). One finds poetry, comedy as well as tragedy in the plays, which are graced by beautiful language and original imagery. Combining Zen philosophy and a modern worldview, they serve to illuminate the gritty realities of life, death, sex, loneliness, and exile, all essential concerns in Gao's understanding of the existence of modern man. The plays are also manifestations of the dramatist's idea of the tripartite actor, a process by which the actor neutralizes himself and achieves a disinterested observation of his self in performance.
