William Bortz’s chapbook, The Sky Grew Back with Clouds, published

Empty Mirror News

The Sky Grew Back with Clouds by William Bortz was published on August 26, 2018.

The Sky Grew Back with Clouds
by William Bortz
It’s the first installment of a chapbook poetry series entitled “make time to breathe today”. This chapbook, like the series itself, focuses on the relationship we have with nature. How we ingest a stale afternoon or a swelling moon.

Accompanying the nature theme is the ebb and flow of wanting; in our longing exists, often, malcontent. This chapbook pokes at that reality, and how when a moment is spared to observe, the wants and longings become so small they hardly exist at all, leaving room for a moment to breathe and do nothing else.

Some poems in this chapbook were previously published:
“Becoming More” was first published in Folded Word
“Birthday” was first published in Empty Mirror

The Sky Grew Back with Clouds is available at Amazon for $4.00.
