While I Watched the Airplanes

While I Watched the Airplanes is Dorothy Yuans first collection of poetry primarily inspired by a fateful Sunday spent - needless to say - at the airport viewing gallery. Like airplane spotting the collection takes a retrospective and observational approach to an array of relationships one could have: familial platonic romantic with art society and ones self. She writes in a wistful tone presenting the occurrence and breakdown of these relationships and the emotions that remain after parties depart.
