Travel with Gonzo poet and flash writer KIRBY WRIGHT as he negotiates the terrain from Helsinki to the Finnish Archipelago to Stockholm, writing verse along the way. This book captures both the cityscapes of Finland and Sweden as well as the countryside of remote Aland Island, providing the reader glimpses of Scandinavia rarely seen by the average tourist. Some of the work takes on fantastical Kafkaesque dimensions and there are dealings with sensual ghosts in saunas and spirits who dine on purple mushrooms by day. A trip to a 400 BC burial ground adds more excitement. A must read for any traveler who wants a different take on Finland and Sweden, including the writer's story behind one of Picasso's most famous paintings.
