About this listen

 Join AI host Celeste Skye as she explores John Gillespie Magee Jr.'s iconic poem "High Flight," written after the 19-year-old RCAF pilot pushed his Spitfire to 33,000 feet in 1941. We discuss hypoxia, transcendence, and fourteen lines that captured what it means to touch the divine through flight.
