“The Road to Continental Heart: Befriending, and Defending, the Spirit of North America” by Steven Dale Davison, is a beautiful, inspiring travelogue that can help readers bond with the land, spirit, and people of North America. The continent truly comes alive in this book, which is the project of pairing images by photographer George Lawrence with poems by his friend Steven Dale Davison.

Since he was unable to, he offered to participate in another way, by sending a poem every week or so for nine months to each of the destinations.  This made him their invisible fellow traveler, in a sense. … More “The Road to Continental Heart” by Steven Dale Davison
