“Age of Exploration is full of passion, wonder, mystery and joy – the kind of writing that makes you feel happy to be alive and part of it all.”

—Diane Frank, author of Swan Light and Yoga of the Impossible

“The poems in Christopher Seid’s Age of Exploration are important to me not just because they are the recorded history of familiar territory, of places I too have lived, but more because they reveal the stunning transformations of real geography versus the geography of the mind, heart, and memory.” 

—Rustin Larson, author of Bum Cantos, Winter Jazz & the Collected Discography of Morning
