Product Description The Forgotten Heroine of NiagaraThis novel-in-verse tells the fascinating story of Annie Taylor, who, in 1901, became the first person to plunge over the brink of Niagara Falls in a barrel. But as Joan Murray reveals, America didn't know what to do with a mature and self-possessed heroine: Annie Taylor, as an "older woman," was rejected and exploited and finally eclipsed by the man who repeated her stunt ten years later."A portrait of a woman so achingly intimate it will linger long in your memory."-Joyce Carol Oates About the Author Joan Murray is the author of three books of poetry: Queen of the Mist (Beacon / 6857-8 / $15.00 pb), Looking for the Parade, and The Same Water. General editor of The Best of Pushcart Poetry, due in 2002, and poetry coeditor with Billy Collins of the twenty-fifth-anniversary Pushcart Prize, she is poet-in-residence at the New York State Writers Institute. She lives in Old Chatham, New York.
