Each path follows one poet through one place or one season, poem by poem, in an order chosen by hand. The poet’s own lines do the guiding, and every stop opens in all four versions.

Somewhere far, somewhere farlies the land, the forbidden
From the forbidden land of the early poems to the roads of exile and the snow.

The clouds, from which first rain poured,have spread themselves with pure gold in the early morning
Five poems of weather: a morning after rain, a field, a storm, a sunset, and the tiredness after.
