A-Gypsying

by Anna Blake Mezquida

About this book

Anna Blake Mezquida’s poems move through travel, love, memory, nature and the imagined possibilities beyond everyday life. Their varied settings and moods connect the desire to wander with reflections on belonging and the people and places that call the speaker back.

The collection includes brief lyrics alongside more reflective pieces, ending with a poem about the place of dreamers in ordinary life. The complete 1922 San Francisco volume preserves its original arrangement, acknowledgments of earlier magazine publication and illustrated binding.
