Description: The whole world is on the move, from what has been to what is yet to be. Everyone who is alive now must travel on that road. There are no exits until the journey ends. 
From Here to Babylon takes the reader on that journey. Along the way we meet angels and devils, saints and con men, the devout and the devious. There is suffering but also hope, outrage but also beauty, mystery beyond our power to explain. 

These eighty-seven poems are a travel guide to destinations we might never expect. Not turning away from hard truths about our human experience and our common destiny, they show the world we can see, and worlds beyond ordinary perception.
