". . .Loudon's poetic sensibilities, echoing the outrage and eroticism of Jorie Graham and Sylvia Plath at times, and the matter-of-factness of William Carlos Williams at others, navigate through the destabilizing mythos surrounding the historical Earhart. . . The tone of these Earhart poems is both wild and restrained, with a well-intoned formal disversity that mirros the becalmed panic edging each poem. What we are treated to in this this small, provocative book is a vision of loss and forgetfullness almost too close to bear, making it easy to marvel at Loudon's poetic range, her prescience and daring in the face of such cataclysm."

— Derek Pollard, American Book Review (March/April 2007)

"The pleasure in reading this book is putting all the little pieces together so that we can examine the whole and in constructing a story for these characters and these thoughts that make sense, given the little we know about the speaker."

— Laurel Snyder, Atlanta Style & Design, (Spring 2007)

I can not shake the feeling that Rebecca Loudon has channeled Amelia Earhart. Through letters, lists, and diary excerpts Earhart speaks to us and we are privy to her memories, her terror, her hates and her loves.

Navigate, Amelia Earhart’s Letters Home is the most fascinating collection of poems I have ever read. Emotions of every sense encase my being as I turn each page. Amelia, through Ms. Loudon’s interpretation of the last days of her life, brought me into a world of deep intrigue. Diary entries, letters, and notes become a beautiful end to a mysterious story.
