This striking collection includes vivid, unflinching meditations on aging, mythology, poetry, and family.

On the Desire to Levitate is the first collection of poems by Alison Powell. This striking collection includes vivid, unflinching meditations on aging, mythology, poetry, and family. In tight, elegant lines that alternate between homage and elegy, these poems explore known subjects with a rebellious eye: a defeated Hercules and a bitter Eurydice, a sympathetic Lucifer, and generations of adolescent girls as mythical adventurers moving within a beloved but confining Midwest. Yet in Powell's skillful hands, hardship never overtakes: as judge Charles Hood writes, "There's often a delicious humor in this work, and always a deep and lasting integrity."

Cute!
Size: 2T, Color: Navy White Rugby Stripe
I ordered this for my granddaughter so she could match her cousins. It fit perfectly and was just as nice as the older cousin’s more
expensive brand

Classic style that holds up
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy
My son needed a nicer shirt for the holidays. The rugby shirt options included some striped options but the color combos didn’t look great so we went with the solid navy.
I accidentally ordered one size up but this still seems like it’s running a bit big. It’s looked good after multiple washes. The material is a bit stiff so it has wrinkles if it’s not folded and stored properly. It could be softer. Like other rugby shirts, the collar is a bit stiff and always need to be reshaped a bit. For the couple years it’s worn I expect it will hold up well.

My grandson looked great wearing it
Size: 2T, Color: Navy
My 2.5-year-old grandson looked so handsome in this shirt. I will keep the manufacturer in mind for future purchases.
