Description
The result of an extended trip to Morocco John took with his sister Susan in 2023, Morocco examines the everyday culture and prominent sites of the country with poems inspired by color photographs. Whether it's getting lost in the alleyways of a medina, enjoying the marketplace of souks and the grandeur of riads, following the footsteps of the Romans, learning of the life of nomads and Sahara farmers, exploring the attractions of Casablanca and Marrakesh, experiencing henna art and leather and carpet production, finding fondness for ubiquitous cats-all are subjects for reflection and personal growth.
