Shrinking Into Infinite Sky

In this courageous and insistently honest collection of poems, Vicki Mandell-King portrays the disparate feelings that arose during the four long years when her mother-in-law was dying: love, annoyance, exhaustion, regret, defiance, fear—even humor. SHRINKING INTO INFINITE SKY gives us all permission to feel those emotions we often think of as “bad”—emotions that, when worked through, can be transformed into moments of intimacy and grace.
