The Dangerous Book of Poetry for Planes

Beschreibung

Poetry. Subversive, erotic, and sublime, POETRY FOR PLANES challenges the conventions of airplane reading. Family, faith, technology, celebrity--yes, they are here. But so too is sex as philanthropy, flight as weltschmerz, and grammar as the ultimate loneliness. In a world that often seems to have lost its affinity for wonder, POETRY FOR PLANES reminds us that our greatest sense is our sense of wordplay.
