Upon re-declaring her independence at age 29, Lorraine Caputo packed her trusty Rocinante (so her knapsack's called) and began traipsing throughout the Americas, from Alaska to Patagonia. When she is not travelling and writing, Lorraine works as a freelance researcher, editor, translator and radio programmer--as well as the occasional odd hotel chambermaid and dishwasher. She would never leave home without her “traveling books of poetry”—six small notebooks, hand-bound with old shoelaces—to fill them with more stories and poems of places and people she comes to know and to share whenever, wherever she may. Lorraine and Rocinante have been living and working in Latin America since 2002.
