Flight Dreams: A Life in the Midwestern Landscape - Singular Lives First Printing edition

"When I was eleven the world was filled with birds", writes Lisa Knopp of her girlhood in Burlington, Iowa. Picking up where she left off in her first book, Knopp knits together sections of her life story through a pattern of images drawn from nature. The most prevalent of these unifying themes are metaphors of flight - birds, wind, moving upward and outward and across the midwestern landscape.
