The Long Night of Flying is Sharon Olson’s engaging first collection where the reader is taken on a journey into a world of vulnerability, incipience and mystery. There is a textured richness in the poet’s tenaciously precise take on the world, whether its subject matter is the theft of a Vermeer, an indictment of the brutalities of war or the loss of the poet’s brother in the crash of a small plane.
The Long Night of Flying
Sharon Olson reads several selections from A Long Night of Flying, her first full-length collection of poetry. (Running Time: 8:34)
