Tamra Poltnick's poems course the dialectic between freedom and containment, banging up against elements and identities along the way. In the process of observing the walls of cities, of motherhood, of the human heart, or even a verse's form, the poems discover cracks, leading to an infinite sky. Such wild blue yonder offers wisdom, liberation, and a canopy over the sacred, the frivolous, and the profane.
