Book Launch for Elizabeth Hazen, with Mary Jo Salter and Steven Leyva: THE SKY WILL HOLD
We could not be more excited to launch Elizabeth Hazen’s new poetry collection, The Sky Will Hold, at the Ivy!
Hazen’s poetic eye and voice are one of a kind, and in this latest collection she focuses them on life: life inside a second marriage, life in middle age, life as a stepparent. It’s a close look at desire and addiction, at love and loss, at learning how to let go while still holding on to what is necessary. Elizabeth Hazen doesn’t back away from sticky topics, we see the inner workings of blended families, parenting a nearly-grown child, and living in an aging body with all the freedoms and pitfalls it can bring.
This collection is a mantra of survival and love and continuing to move forward and always, always, believing the sky will hold, even when all signs point to the opposite. Mary Jo Salter and Steven Leyva will join Hazen for an insightful and exciting conversation about this work. Please join us for inspiration and celebration as we usher these beautiful poems into the world.
