Author Description

While at first there may seem to be no connection—for how could hot air balloons relate to poetry?—they are more alike than they appear. Both are composed of beauty and grace; both need hands to guide them; fire to fuel them. Poetry in the Sky is a collection of hot air balloon poems, written by Jo Harr and accompanied by stunning photographs of the subjects themselves. Along with descriptions of poetry styles used, this unmatched collection of written and photographic art is mixed with fascinating lessons on poetry, resulting in a uniquely beautiful and powerful book of poetry. About the Author: Jo Harr is a retired teacher and now devotes her time to a love of writing, reading and music. She plays guitar, piano, and her personal favorite, a hammered dulcimer. Harr shares her home with the two loves of her life, Max and Angelo, both senior dogs that have been by her side for many years.
