      Praise for ONCE AND FUTURE MYTHS

      “Phil Cousineau's Once and Future Myths reveals the

      timeless power of sacred story with personal charm and sweeping

      vision. Whether delving into the pathos of time or travel, the pains of

      the creative process, the deep need for mentors in our youth culture,

      or the mystique of sport and city life, with grace we are shown the

      soul behind the surface of things, the rich meaning behind our

      everyday lives. Poet and travel-meister Cousineau has

      given us a twenty-first-century guidebook for the

      re-enchantment of the world.”

      —MICHAEL GROSSO, Ph.D., author of

      The Millennium Myth and Soulmaking

      “One can always count on Cousineau to address the deeper mysteries

      of life in warmhearted, searchingly honest, and helpful ways.”

      —ALEXANDER ELIOT, author of The Global Myths

       Praise for The Art of Pilgrimage

      “If Joseph Campbell, the Dalai Lama, and Bill Moyers were

      to have collaborated on a book about journeys…I suspect it

      would look very much like The Art of Pilgrimage.”

       —Austin American-Statesman

      “Phil Cousineau's lifetime of pilgrimage has taken him from

      the depths of lost jungles to the heights of the human soul, always

      with passion, curiosity, warmth, wisdom, and humor. And in this

      little golden guide, he brings us along with him. This is an

      experience not to be missed, for any reason.”

      —MORT ROSENBLUM, author of Olives:Life and Lore of a Noble Fruit
