Then, you must commit to the road and the rising loneliness. To the sincere thrill of coming apart.</i><br> <br>So begins Joy Sullivan’s <i>Instructions for Traveling West</i>—a lush debut collection that examines what happens when we leave home and leap into the deep unknown.

Each of us holds the power to set our own course forward.<br> <br>Expansive and heart-opening—exquisite in their specificity, galvanizing in their scope—the poems in <i>Instructions for Traveling West</i> speak to the longing that lives within us all. They remind us that “joy is not a trick.”
