To the Land Beyond

There is a place for us to go.

What is the heart and mind we should now seek, the bonds we should build, 

and the form a new nation and new civilization should take?

24 additional poems and photographs of life after Beyond the Vast Wasteland.


By the very fact that we have experienced the enormous ordeal of the earthquake disaster and suffered unendurable losses, there is a place to which we should be heading. All the more because we have felt such pain, there is something for which we should be searching. 

The title of this book, To the Land Beyond, expresses my feelings about this journey.
