The rest of the road

An art object as well as a book, Blanding illustrates his poetry collection as usual with great drawings, not only full page this time but with smaller margin drawings of considerable variety, many with Japanese influence but one or two with Mexican connections. "Vagabond's House On Wheels" is a new poem referring to his earlier hit "Vagabond's House", the title of his first collection of poems. Many of those first works appeared first in Honolulu newspapers.
