Shadow of Heaven

Following her stringent and much-acclaimed Kyrie, finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, Ellen Bryant Voigt now examines more intimately the ordeals and exaltations of everyday life. Nature, both fierce and benign, infuses this collection, furthering an art at once ravishing and stern and deeply human (American Academy of Arts and Letters).
