Spanning the years since 1995, these poems traverse distant lands as well as the continent of the heart. In travels that take him through North America, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, Vietnam, India and Mexico, Brandi engages the world with open eyes, ears, and heart.
Born in Los Angeles in 1943, Brandi graduated from the University of California, he joined the Peace Corps to work with Andean farmers in their struggle for land titles and civil liberties. Returning to the U.S., he protested the war in Vietnam, lived in Alaska and the Sierra Nevadas, and finally took up permanent residence in New Mexico. He has travelled extensively to the Indian subcontinent, Ladakh, Nepal, Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bali and has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Witter Bynner Foundation and the Djerassi Foundation. He teaches in the summer months at Idyllwild Arts in California.
