TAJEXPRESSAlan Ross  \n# THE TAJ EXPRESS\n\nAlan Ross's new poems derive,inthree of their five sections,from aseries of return journeys to placesimportant to him:to India,where hewas born and where his family,Scottish on one side,French-Irishon the other,has had a long Indianconnection;to North Russia,Iceland,and Germany,placesbelonging to war and the immediatepost-war period;and to the
