If you like jazz and wit, wry love and shrewd philosophy, these poems are your natural companions. Their backhanded wisdom and cardsharp luck with language will light every moment they spend with you. -Angela Ball, author of NIGHT CLERK AT THE HOTEL OF TWO WORLDS In Travel for Agoraphobics, Allen Berry escorts readers through the love, hate and longing that exists in smoky rooms, often surprising us with thrilling jazz notes and resonant blues. Whether "you wanna be a Sparkler or a Roman Candle," this collection thrums with music, rhythm, and transcendence. -Irene Latham, author of THE SKY BETWEEN US Allen Berry's aptly titled collection Travel for Agoraphobics is pure energy, a marvelous tour of places, of film, of jazz, and of discovery-and the stops on your tour? Del Rio, Texas, a hotel in Amsterdam, a Japanese Steak House, the Miracle Strip. Fear not-Berry's poems are like tiny films, cinematic and honest, narrative and vivid, full of light and movement-they will take you everywhere. -Julia Johnson, author of NAMING THE AFTERNOON
