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.
