In his 80th year, the poet is obsessed with the notion of location and its effect on his writing. The book's title, 'Traveling', underscores a fascination with the notion of here/there, Pasadena/Bagnone, exterior/interior, all of which upheld by a growing determination to discover the silence inhabiting language. Written between 2022-2025, Traveling celebrates the necessary illusions and forgiveness that characterize an almost 60-year career. Or as one of Vangelisti's more recent poems reminds us:

The rest is anything but silence.

Now at this age still determined

to let song flourish and go where it may.
