Everything is Poa: One Man’s Search for Peace and Purpose in East Africa

Everything is Poa: One Man’s Search for Peace and Purpose in East Africa by PEI-based author Jamey Glasnovic will be released on October 8 via Rocky Mountain Books.

Ever an atypical adventurer, Glasnovic was never likely to set records crossing the Arctic, or attempt new and audacious routes up remote peaks. Like a laid-back Indiana Jones, a dive bar in Kathmandu or Dar es Salaam counts as a good day out for this life-long traveler. A profound belief in the power of exploring new lands and landscapes motivates him to continually seek out new experiences. A desire to understand the connection all humans have to their surroundings compels him to explore foreign cultures and unfamiliar terrain.

In his third book, Everything Is Poa (poa means “good” in Swahili), Glasnovic tests his physical limits and leaps outside of his comfort zone. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was a good start, but it is the misadventures on his bicycle in Tanzania and Rwanda that define the journey. Along the way, he is awed by the warmth and generosity of the people he meets, as well as the spectacular wildlife of the African continent. The journey makes for an extraordinary experience that changes him forever, and will inspire readers to plot their own life-altering expeditions.
