An Open World, When I Land and And The Wind are three settings of poems from FletcherLaVallee Bartholomew's collection entitled "And The Wind: Gnostic Poems 1945 - 1979." Minneapolis native Fletcher Bartholomew spent most of his life in aviation, beginning with a childhood flight in a Curtis Robin in 1929. His work in aviation started with a job as an inspector in an aircraft factory. He went on to become a test pilot in World War II, serving at The South India Air Depot at Bangalore, India. He often spoke later of his experience on The ship to India and The people he met travelling around The subcontinent. He subsequently worked in aviation in Munich, Germany, and in Lima, Peru, before he concluded his career working in airport planning and management.  less
