"Wander - to walk/explore/amble in an unplanned or aimless way with a complete openness to the unknown. Several years ago when Keri Smith, author of Wreck This Journal, discovered cryptic handwritten notations in a worn copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, her interest was piqued. Little did she know at the time that those simple markings would become the basis of a years-long, life-changing exploration into a mysterious group known only as The Wander Society. Within these pages, you'll find the results of her research. The Wander Society, a secretive group that holds up the act of wandering, or unplanned exploring, as a way of life. You'll learn about the group's mysterious origins, meet fellow wanderers through time, discover how wandering feeds the creative mind, and learn how to best practice the art of wandering, should you choose to accept the mission. Keri Smith is an author, illustrator, guerrilla artist, and maintainer of a blog. Smith's writing is usually on the topic of creativity. Her books include Wreck this Journal, How to be an Explorer of the World, The Guerilla Art Kit, Living Out Loud: Activities to Fuel a Creative Life, and Tear up this Book! She has also written for such publications as How Magazine.
