"Traveling Sitting Still is rich with insight into the human condition. Whether it's a wounded American GI forced to dig his own grave during World War II, a lonely mysophobic stuck on an entrance ramp in Los Angeles, or a man headed for divorce finding solace in a Chiquita banana sticker, the compelling voices in Traveling Sitting Still heal many of the wounds their stories examine.
In an age of increasing anonymity, when so many find themselves alone, Traveling Sitting Still reminds us that we are part of a greater whole.
It is this single thread of humanity which informs and empowers Traveling Sitting Still. These hard-edged, uncompromising stories remind us that we are not alone: that it is often, simply, perspective which cages us. Traveling Sitting Still is fearless in the way it provides keys to escaping these cages."
