In 2018, reeling from marital, parental, and societal losses,
acclaimed poet Todd Boss risked everything to be at one with the
world. Boss sold his belongings and began to circle the globe in a
series of consecutive housesits. He alternately inhabited
thatched-roof farmhouses, hillside estates, urban apartments, and
lush gardens in Berlin, Barcelona, Austin, Austria, Marrakesh,
Singapore, Baltimore, Auckland, and more. The poems in Someday the
Plan of a Town are his only souvenirs. Written under the influence
of long walks along the Thames and the Pacific, of mornings at
farmers' markets, train stations, and mountaintop basilicas,
Someday the Plan of a Town conjures Spanish dust, English rain,
French moss, Arizona cliffs, and Hungarian light, ringing all the
while with timeless humor and wisdom. At the same time, these poems
concern the most domestic of matters-personal grief and familial
estrangement, reflections on a changing nation, and a journey of
self-discovery that offers a new meaning of home. As much a
commentary on modern-day America as a personal history replete with
grief, Someday the Plan of a Town is a sensual, intellectual, and
arrestingly musical map of one nomadic troubadour's journey to
self.
