Rolling Up the Sky
Description
"The poems in Rolling up the Sky tell stories about mothers and daughters, about struggle, about grief ? but no matter how painful their occasions, these poems are full of warmth and humor. Haltmaier is so honest in her probing of experience and so attentive to the many minute phenomena of the world around her that to me, Rolling up the Sky seems like one long love poem to life itself. Brava!" -James Arthur, author of Charms Against Lightning
