"Ode To The Castro" is Erika's poem of gratitude to San Francisco's Castro neighborhood where, she tells us, her heart was beating long before she lived there. "I belong here. I resonate here. I reverberate here," she states emphatically. The pages of this book will illustrate the colors and diversity of what she calls the tapestry of her life in this neighborhood. "It is my hope the words will put smiles on your faces and evince chuckles from your hearts."

Ode To The Castro: A Hundred and One Variations of Love

Atkinson, Erika

Newt List

Literary Nonfiction. Travel. Fiction. Poetry. HAPPILY LOST IN TIME AND PLACE brings together over two dozen stories and poems by Erika Atkinson, inspired by her over fifty years of travel from a one-room country school house in Manitoba to all parts of the globe. "Since she was eighteen, and for all the years she has remained so, Erika has wondered and wandered about the earth, never searching (that, alas, would require a prior purpose), but always finding. Most of all she has found—or has become—the Rosetta Stone of the human condition; the strength, the humor, the guile, and the quirks that connect us all, from joyful Parisian bar hustlers to cold war, warm-hearted Soviet peddlers. Even a love-lorn, Antarctic penguin is only human. They all have a story—we all have a story—and Erika reminds us that a good story must be told, and told well."—Michael Welch

MORE MILES AND MOMENTS follows Erika Atkinson's first book, HAPPILY LOST IN TIME AND PLACE, bringing together a second group of stories and poems inspired by her many years of travel to all parts of the world. The episodes contained in this collection are another record of personal adventures, well-seasoned with colorful characters and coincidences. As usual, it is impossible to deny the existence of chance occurrences in her experiences, the serendipity which, as one avid reader affirmed "...is the rendezvous between ourselves and life, sometimes having taken place long before we are aware of it."
