in transit
by Dorothee Lang

being in transit
is an art in itself
is simple in theory
is living:

crossings, arrivals, encounters & departures
road stories + border poems
west -> east, berlin -> miami, a -> b
& all those states in between

author note:

"It was a road trip that finally let me get this book together - while driving, I thought of past journeys and places. About the people I had met somewhere out there. About the transit-story-collection I once had started. Back home, the journey continued. I retrieved the file. It was my departure point. I added new texts. Shifted. Turned. Moved. Until the mosaic of stories and poems and maps clicked into place.
Friends asked me: "Aren't you travelling again?" - "I am," I answered. And in a way, it is only paper. In another way, in transit is a road trip in connecting pages.
