Along the way we encounter mind numbing routines, interesting restaurants (good and bad), colorful museums, rocky bus rides, mundane hotels, odd characters and old friends - they're all there. Along with the structure holding it all together, namely, a recurring setlist that is invoked as a litany. In the end the book proves to be a declaration of love for Europe, and in the current dark times we are presently living through, more immediate than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40604996534295,"sku":"9781940625560","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/ibg.common.titledetail_6ecf36ef-87e1-4690-87bd-0d25978137eb.gif?v=1689794898","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/bargeld-blixa-europe-cropb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
