poetry's element is air, then Kate Durbin's words soar and swirl like Amelia Earhart's own stunts--these pages give voice to forgotten courage and entrance us with their daring."<br><br>--Gabriela Jauregui, author of </span></span></span><i><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Controlled Decay </span></span></span></i><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br>
