THE DEEP ROAD TO SANTIAGO

DONE! FINALIZADA! My travel memoir about walking the Camino de Santiago completed at last! It's written in the Japanese style of haibun - lyrical passages of prose accompanied by haiku - specifically designed by its creator, Matsuo Basho, the father of haiku, to write of his walking pilgrimages around 17th century Japan. My title is homage to his most famous haibun OKU NO HOSOMICHI (The Narrow Road to the Deep North). 
"Their journeying is life, their journeying is home."
