Description
Travelogues: Vignettes from Trains in Motion by Kathleen Jennings is a collection of nine travel vignettes that capture the passing landscape with an illustrator's eye for detail and a poet's command of rich language and startling metaphors. Written over three years while travelling across Massachusetts, New York State, and England, these journeys are infused with wonder and unfamiliar landscapes. Kathleen Jennings' unique voice brings a fresh perspective to train travel, inviting readers to look at this mode of transport in a new light. With an affinity for words that's equal to her celebrated artwork, Jennings weaves together vivid descriptions of the natural world, creating a sense of place and atmosphere that will stay with you long after you finish reading. This collection is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever travelled by train, or simply appreciates the beauty of language and observation.
