Daredevil pilots Lincoln Beachey, Betty Scott, Harriet Quimby, Ruth
Law, Ormer Locklear, Bessie Coleman, and Clyde Pangborn fly at
carnival altitudes to thrill millions of spectators who have never
seen an airplane. In a lyrical sequence of persona poems, the
pilots in Exuberance wonder how the experience of moving through
the air will transform life on the ground. They learn to name the
clouds, size up the winds, mix an Aviation Cocktail, perform a
strange field landing, and make an emergency jump. *FINALIST in
Poetry for the Connecticut Book Awards 2020*
