When Rebecca Perry was growing up, she competed nationally and internationally as a trampolinist. This immersive and compelling book deftly blends memoir and lyrical nonfiction to explore a time she 'chose air over earth' and intensive schedules of practice. From the aerial views of English sports halls and international stadiums, to the texture of a fingernail pressed against silver beads on a leotard, Perry's explorations are immersive, sensuous, funny, traumatic and tender. In 'On Trampolining', Perry weaves arresting tales on pain, expectation, flight and grief in relation to competitive sport, memory and the body.
