Description
Poetry. In PARIS, Richard Jones establishes himself as the flâneur, walking through the city and, in turn, his own life experiences. Although Jones places his poems against a storied and legendary backdrop, the poems themselves are deeply intimate and reflective. PARIS is not a romance, but rather a spiritual pilgrimage. Thus, the reader is invited to become one with the flâneur, accompanying the poet on his journey through PARIS and through the joyful strangeness of human existence.
