Queen of the Mist by Joan Murray

Queen of the Mist by Joan Murray

This 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

Joan Murray is editor of Poems to Live By in Uncertain Times and The Best of Pushcart Poetry. A National Poetry Series Open Competition winner, she is author of Queen of the Mist, Dancing on the Edge, and Looking for the Parade. Her poems have also appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Ms., The Nation, and Best American Poetry and have been featured on NPR's Morning Edition. Murray lives in Old Chatham, New York.
