The Sky will Hold is a book of survival, of second chances, of recovery and new beginnings. In this, her third full-length collection, Elizabeth Hazen explores loss and renewal, addiction and sobriety, the joys and difficulties of marriage and mothering. Many of these poems embody the mixed—even contradictory—emotions inevitably experienced in growing through life and navigating its changes.
