Nile: Poems and Photographs by John Delaney

$19.99

 

When I was 28, in 1978, I started OAT (Overseas Adventure Travel) with the idea that there was a touch of inquisitiveness and adventure in all of us.  I believed that as an adventure travel company owner I could help others transform their lives through travel.  They would see the world differently . . . perhaps breaking stereotypes of people and places, accepting differences of other people, enriching their own inner lives as they explore outwardly and grasping the importance of nature, culture, history, and our earth. John Delaney’s choice poems, reflections, and photographs in Nile—itself inspired by an OAT trip to Egypt and sites along the Nile—are a tribute to the transformation that happens to us and others as we journey into new lands.

–Judi Wineland, founder of O.A.T. (Overseas Adventure Travel)
