Lillo Way inhabits the voice of her grandmother, after whom she was named, in these deeply felt, deeply researched poems that capture the spirited world of circus performers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Tracing the trajectory of a young girl as she learns to “fly” alongside her brothers in Britain, reaches the heights of fame as a young woman in Europe, and matures into motherhood and old age in America, Flying is a tribute to the thrill of performance and the power of family.
