Sky Girl takes up the airborne commedia in a new atmosphere of revised service, revised glamour, and revised terror. From far and quite, quite near, the poems of Rosemary Griggs observe with a kind but unsettling gaze the trials of the flight attendant, post-disaster. Our girl Kimberlie jets to parts known and unknown- Saginaw, Phuket, Isoka, Maui, a weekend getaway, a layover, the great blue yonder- inspiring affection and sympathetic fear and loneliness wherever she goes. These are poems as varied and exploratory, and deeply humane, as any job description can be.
