From the airports of childhood to the backroads of America and the borderlands of Europe, Nowhere to Go but Everywhere traces a lifetime of movement and meaning. These poems are both map and mirror-charting landscapes of memory and discovery.

Budimir's verse carries us from Cheyenne to Seoul, Pittsburgh to Budapest, weaving snapshots of ordinary moments into meditations on distance, belonging, and the beauty of the in-between. Rooted in wanderlust and tempered by reflection, this collection reminds us that travel is an act of survival and understanding.

For readers who crave both movement and meaning, Nowhere to Go but Everywhere looks at how travel leaves its fingerprints on who we become.

Milenko (Miles) Budimir is the author of several books of poems including Licorice Heart (Roadside Press), Departures (Burning River) and Rustbelt Romance (deep cleveland). His photographs have appeared in numerous exhibitions over the years where they have won awards and been acquired for private collections. He works as a philosophy lecturer and a technical writer and editor. He is from Cleveland, Ohio.

Reviews for Nowhere to Go but Everywhere: Travel Poems

""Miles Budimir sends terse verse postcards ranging from the vast west of Cheyenne to his ancestral Balkans. Illustrated by his expressionistic black and white photos, he plumbs the particulars of place to show how here resonates everywhere. Throughout these travel sketches and chance meetings, he realizes the journey is always within."" -Ray McNiece, American Academy of Poetry Poet Laureate Fellow ""From ""fields of windmills"" to the 7th Avenue Bridge, the reader journeys through cities and continents in Budimir's lyric travelogue. In a nearly audible vernacular cadence, the poet portrays the textured beauty and grit of each destination. Searching and tender, these poems lead us to both far-flung and interior places, all of which we visit gladly."" -Barbara Sabol, author of Mapping the Borderlands
