Author's Note:
This poem's title is a reference to 'Fear of Flying', a 1973 novel by Erica Jong which became famously controversial for its portrayal of female sexuality and figured in the development of second-wave feminism. The book resonated with women who felt stuck in unfulfilled marriages, and it has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
In John Updike's New Yorker review of 'Fear of Flying', he commented, " ... a sexual frankness that belongs to, and hilariously extends the tradition of 'The Catcher in the Rye' and 'Portnoy's Complaint'."
