For more than five decades Canadian folk/rock singer, songwriter and guitarist Bruce Cockburn has toured the globe, visiting such far-flung places as Guatemala, Mali, Mozambique, Afghanistan and Nepal, performing and speaking out on diverse issues, from native rights and land mines to the environment and Third World debt. His journeys have been reflected in his music and evolving styles: folk, jazz, blues, rock and worldbeat. Drawing on his experiences, he continues to create memorable songs about his ever-expanding universe of wonders. In his memoir, Cockburn invites us into his private world, sharing his Christian convictions, his personal relationships, and the social and political activism that has defined him.
