Where the Sky is a Wall: Poems

Ravished by abuse, parental addictions, and the Murrah Federal Building bombing as it echoes her own losses, Hooper picks her way forward through life's dark ruin. Evocative, descriptive language captures the devastation and the changes that converge with far-reaching consequences. At the heart of Where the Sky is a Wall, as the generations turn, Hooper's survival and the reminders of comforting normality sustain her. Husband, daughter, and ordinary blessings, connect her to love and light, epiphanies in this, Hooper's debut book of poems.
