    "In 1979, waiting in a queue at the Greyhound station in San Diego for a ticket to Tijuana, Mexico, a burly Black American G.I. in front of me turns. ‘Where y'all goin', son?'
    ‘Mexico,' I reply.
    ‘Y'all never come out alive!'
    When I arrived in Tijuana, my first stop, I began to think his prediction might come true."

    Paul Schimmel is a retired psychoanalyst. This book is a compilation of anecdotes from a lifetime of travels, but the central part of the book comes to focus on the adventures that ensued during the author's three lengthy journeys in Mexico and Central America.

    Praise for Paul Schimmel's first collection of poetry, Reading the Water, (Steele Roberts, Aotearoa 2016):
    "A richly woven collection which capably showcases Schimmel's love of language, symbolism and poetic craft." Siobhan Harvey, editor of NZ literary magazine Takahē at the time.

    Paul Schimmel

    Paul Schimmel is a psychoanalyst, now retired. He has previously published five books: two psychoanalytic, a fishing miscellany, and two of poetry. Of his first, Reading the Water, Siobhan Harvey, editor of Takahe Magazine [New Zealand] at the time, wrote the following review: "Tight, lyrical, linguistically muscular, the poems he sent me grabbed the attention. Now, his first collection, Reading the Water, has just appeared, and I'm delighted to see it's a stunning, well-crafted book. Reading the Water is a richly woven collection which capably showcases Schimmel's love of language, symbolism and poetic craft."
