Steel Valley is poetry that illuminates the soul's travelogue. You can feel with all senses the steel wheels of Mike Adams' Pennsylvania steel mill and railroad boyhood pulse in every word; his clear, generous breaths open the heart to the wide expanses of the poet writing down his life. These tough, tender-eyed poems and prose pieces are at once blue collar and bohemian, homages to the drinking and the working life juxtaposed against a long poem about cooking green chili. There are disappearing riprap trails and epic family narratives that haunt and exhilarate. It is hard to find a geography worth its weight in memory that doesn't resonate with the blood and spirit of its inhabitants. Mike, like Ed Abbey before him, left behind the Wobbly Joe bars, mills, hills and scarred valleys of Pennsylvania for the boisterous outback of the comparatively wide, wild open West. Steel Valley is fine writing, epic and intimate. John Macker

Unterwegs nach Santiago und Portugal begann für mich im Mai 2012 eine neue Zeit der Wanderungen. Ich kehrte nach vielen Jahrzehnten mit der Kamera zurück zu Lieblingsorten und Schauplätzen meiner Filme, ins Haus meines Großvaters, nach Amerika (Indian Country: Lakota, Navajo, Pueblos) und Südindien (nach 36 Jahren). Mein Fischer Agostin war schon lange gestorben, aber ich nahm seinen Sohn am gleichen Brunnen auf wie 1978, fuhr mit Zug und Riksha tiefer hinein nach Kerala und Tamil Nadu, sah das goldene Matrimandir und die Fishermen Colony.Mein literarisch-photographisches Projekt weitete sich aus, mit meinem Sohn besuchte ich die amerikanische Ostküste und Kanada, mit meiner Partnerin kam ich zum ersten Mal nach Sardinien und ging allein auf eine Wanderung zu Fuß von Nord- nach Südbaden, von meiner ersten Heimat in die zweite. Nach Kreta, auf die archaische Insel, kehrte ich nach 40 Jahren zurück, überall fand ich wiederkehrende Geschichten von Liebe und Trennung, Aufbruch und Heimkehr, vom Vergehen der Zeit, die ich im Schreiben und mit der Kamera festhielt.Das Wiedersehen von nahen Menschen und fernen Orten nach so vielen Jahren, das Weitergehen und Darüberhinaus - davon handelt dieses Buch.
