'An Australian woman spends two months in Italy in the summer of 2017. As she wends her way to a literary conference in Ravello where will will speak about Basho, she records the joys and foibles of Bella Italia - the characters she meets, the food she enjoys and the art she sees. The haiku she writes on return pay tribute to her poetic companion on her travels - Basho. From Sicily in the south to Monte Rossa in the north, the magnificent delights of Italy unfold, even though the tour is a humble one and not grand at all.' (Publication summary)
