This blog is named after a few words in a Mary Oliver poem. Glossy & Rowdy is about travel and discovery.

“Drive down any road,

take a train or an airplane
across the world, leave
your old life behind,

die and be born again~
wherever you arrive
they’ll be there first,

glossy and rowdy
and indistinguishable.
The deep muscle of the world.”
― Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Vol. 1

Belly up to your screen with a libation and watch the deep muscle of the world beat.
