Amelia Earhart's Lost Lyric Poetry



 
   More proof that poetry influences or affects more people than one would realize! The LitHub has a fascinating post about some scattered poetry by aviator Amelia Earhart, including a rejection letter.

   The article speaks for itself. What impressed me was how much she loved poetry and her talent. 

    Joni's Mitchells song and some background on it are from the second link. And so we have a true multi-genre presentation!
