We cringe at hangar mishaps, broken fences, peeling dope, and duct tape repairs. Mostly, though, we soak in the magic of flight from the cockpit of her biplane, watching a bunch of sticks and wires and cloth tie a person to life itself and to those who share it, living and dead: “Like many flyers, I feel connected to Lewis and Clark across time and space—they explored the surface in the early 1800’s, we fly above them in a flying machine a bit more sophisticated than an early 1900’s model, and in my cockpit sits a 2000-era device that speaks every moment to a satellite whisking along miles above. Beyond the satellite, an observer in 2100 will gaze back through a telescope on the moon’s Mount Marilyn to see the earth’s Judith Gap and ahead into deep space toward the next place to be named for a loved one.” Sticks & Wires & Cloth is Anne Hopkins’s first book. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
