(2) YA On July 6, 1944, 167 people died, and five hundred more were injured, in a fire at a circus in Hartford, Connecticut. Janeczko gives fictional voice to these spectators and workers, who share their hopes, fears, despair, and gratitude in a cycle of poems that memorialize the historic tragedy.
