These poems cover twelve recent years in a life spent hitchhiking, working with the homeless in Philadelphia and Sioux Falls, pastoring a congregation of Chiricahua Apache and Comanche, pastoring congregations in the frozen north, and recently teaching chemistry and astronomy. Perhaps it is this unique perspective which gives the sense that these poems contain something worth finding.

Alleys, bars, windows, and the wide-open road. Each poem a short story. Each poem a different perspective on this life we all share. In "Always Passing Through," Boint's poems are joined to his artwork. The result is a thoughtful blend of questions and answers, a wandering without goal but not without direction.
