Honored to receive a creatively illustrated poem entitled Odyssey 1998-2018 that celebrates the completion of his twenty-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea.
New York editor Gloria de Luca accompanied her illustrated-with-stickers Odyssey 1998-2018 poem with an explanatory note that read “I was so inspired by your great achievement that I had to write a poem.”
Homer, Hercules, Alexander the Great and The Idiot’s other hiking partners will love it!
About Joel

The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013.
