Aerodynamics, Gail Ghai's fourth book of poetry reveals vivid childhood memories, intense family dynamics, profound love and loss all set in a backdrop of aviation. From her first time flying at the age of three and a half, to later in life catching a midnight flight from Tampa, flying, aircraft, "takeoffs and landings" as well as the family's interactions with their pilot father, fold and unfold throughout the poetic vignettes and poems. The verses in Aerodynamics also include our human experiences of anxiety, jealousy, sibling tensions, sexual awakenings, parenting, humor and finally joy and hope.
