Daydreaming On A Train to Canada

Daydreaming On A Train to Canada (On My Way) represents musings running through a modern immigrant passenger’s mind aboard a train ride to Canada; a modern immigrant passenger who has been around the world and has finally decided to settle down in Canada. His tapestry of thoughts are penned in the form of poems throughout his long train ride during which he fluctuates between a dream state and reality. What begins as a metaphorical train ride eventually becomes a real one.

This anthology pays tribute to contemporary and sometimes controversial issues that plague our world today. There are many introspective moments from the passenger’s subliminal mind intimately weaved into the collection. After all, the immigrant passenger is an allegory of the modern human condition.

Many of us are at some point in a journey towards a destination. Along the way, there may be obstacles encountered and lessons learnt. Likewise, in this collection there are many checkpoints and stations along the way, reflecting the chapters in the chronology of life.

The question remains if the immigrant passenger does reach the final destination; everyone hopes he does but does he eventually?
