In "Places & Stories," Bill Bridges turns his
poet's/journalist's eye on scenes ranging from Venice to Machu Picchu to
the Time Out Bar in Van Buren, Indiana. He also ranges in time,
describing his search for echoes of the Yukon gold rush and for "lost
villages and ghost towns" in rural Indiana. And the short stories at the
back of the book end with a slightly eerie futuristic twist. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
