Ticket to Ride

Carlota Caulfield’s Ticket to Ride is an autobiographical evocation of the author’s family history and a beautiful homage to her mother. Often humorous, always passionate, this collection of essays, poems and interviews by one of today’s most imaginative and original Cuban-born American writers displays her captivating versatility and allows us to enter into that special space called POETRY. These pieces make up a life as it is being lived and imagined. In them we find the poet’s playful irony. Caulfield, like her beloved painter Arcimboldo, loves intellectual puzzles. Like a good perfume, Ticket to Ride has its signature. Caulfield creates an unusual sillage—leaving with the reader a scented trail of words.
