In this latest book in the Beyond Haiku series - Women Pilots Write Poetry, Argentine- born American Airlines Captain Linda Pauwels masterfully captures the adventure and beauty that come with the journey of flying aircraft. From these pages come a thoughtful curation of haiku and short poems by fifty-eight women pilots from ten countries who collectively share their diverse flying backgrounds. Many of the contributors to this book carry out the honorable work of flying over borders and walls, making the world a smaller place-and all while forging a path in what has historically been a man's profession. These women are custodians of the power and majesty of flight. Among these inspiring, characteristically dry, and often amusing poetic insights, Pauwels has woven a selection of profound and previously unpublished poetry written by the greatest aviatrix of all time, Amelia Earhart. Again, in this latest of book of the Beyond Haiku series, beautiful illustrations by children of pilots, aged 7-17, bring the richness of the aviators' words even further to life. All proceeds from Women Pilots Write Poetry go to fund aviation scholarships for aspiring women aviators.

Beyond Haiku peeks through the cockpit door to reveal the poetic heart of airline pilots. Captain Linda Pauwels, instructor pilot on the Boeing 787 and former aviation columnist for the Orange County Register, presents a selection of haiku and short poems by men and women who fly airplanes for a living. The writing is niche and empathetic. The humor is characteristically wry, befitting the pilot persona. Beautiful illustrations, by children of pilots aged 6 to 17, bring this flight of fancy in for a smooth landing. Proceeds from Beyond Haiku will go to the Allied Pilots Association Emergency Relief and Scholarship Fund, to provide support for pilots impacted by industry effects of COVID-19.

Beyond Haiku: Pilots Write Poetry

Review\n"The pilot as poet? Let's face it,aviators aren't known for their skillswhen it comes to verse. Which iswhat makes this collection such apleasant, unexpectedly lyricalsurprise." 
- Patrick Smith, Bestselling author of Cockpit Confidential\n"In this collection you'll find wit,grit, soul and heart. You'll live fire and ice and the pain of leaving;the marshalling of strength and the lament of loss; shiny newness andnumbing familiarity. And it's not so much about flying as it is initself flight, poetic flight. 
Sit down, strap in, and enjoy the ride."\n- Chris Manno, PhD, Rhetoric and Literature; Adjunct Professor, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, TX. American Airlines Captain- retired.\n"Delightful in their variety, spare in their presentation, yet full of underlying meaning, these poems will expand non-flying readers' ordinary conceptions about flight and share meaningful experiences with other flyers."-Sharon Darrow, Author, Poet, Teacher, Worlds within Words: Writing and The Writing Life\n"From the vivid image of abird in flight to a father longing to see his kids, each poem takes youinto the heart and minds of those good folks who've dedicated theircareers to getting passengers safely from one place to another.I highly recommend this book to anyone who's ever traveled through theair, whether you're up front at the controls or buckled into yourseatbelt in back on your way from here to there."\n- Kathleen M. Rodgers, Aviation poet and author of the new novel, The Flying Cutterbucks\n"Beyond Haiku is a quick, insightful read containing 51 haikus, 20 short poems and seven pieces of philosophical prose. It eloquently describes how pilots are a rare breed that live at the edgeof so many continuums: speed, altitude, time, distance, danger,performance, proficiency and emotion. 
Pilots are away from their family for long durations so please pay specialattention to their children's artwork. Like haikus, their simplistic art style deeply expresses innocent heartfelt messages."\n- Helmut H.
