rare since many literary persons: William Saroyan, Jack London, Don Blanding,
Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Duncan, poet-musicians such as Jim Morrison of
The Doors, with Phyllis Diller, (and numerous visual artists, musicians, writers,
fi lm-makers, actors such as Tom Hanks, and peace activists not encompassed
in this book) have made a connection to this island that has become legendary
for the genius of its people in a place so small. Readers of this story-map of
the islands literary history by Mary Rudge will have a fascinating experience
following the route around the island where her ardent heart leads you; where
poets in the past have been touched by the sense of place and their experiences. A
walk around Alameda, following passages in this book, is an adventure in the real
world of the excitement in lives of poets.view less
