How Small the Sky Really Dreams Mary Ann Cain

Poetry. Moving from illness, back into memory, and again into an ever-present present, the poems in HOW SMALL THE SKY REALLY DREAMS find new spaces to inhabit within the undulating, rhythmic, teeming natural world, a world of bodies, movement, and deep interconnections, a world where upheaval and terror are not separate, extraordinary experiences but deeply part of the warp and weft of existence. In short, this is a book that pushes limits of the human need to settle into received narratives and instead finds peace through the ongoing change and chaos of an endlessly shifting world. HOW SMALL THE SKY REALLY DREAMS is very much a book of this current moment of uncertainty and change, while at the same time part of an ongoing, eternal spiritual exploration into the nature of being and becoming.
