A long-absent traveler's return from the snowy northlands to sunny San Antonio, the capital of South Texas and Northern Mexico, inspires Dispatches from Tumbleweed. This "rolling stone" poet and his wife settle in a San Antonio urban barrio he whimsically nicknames Tumbleweed and through eighty-four prismatic haiku records his first year's impressions for amigos left behind throughout America. In the generation the couple has been away, San Antonio, named for the patron saint of lost things and souls, has exploded into a large complex urban area absorbing the new but holding onto the old. Here moderns regardless of origin can find and celebrate the fiesta of their true selves and their common humanity.
