Blue Mistaken for Sky reviewed in Pedestal Magazine!

Below is a brief excerpt of the review. Read the full piece here. 

To call Blue Mistaken for Sky a poetic or spiritual memoir may be to overdefine it. Nonetheless, taken together as Hollander has arranged them, the poems appear to be the mature fruit of a smart poet’s process of discernment, an exploration of personal loss and disillusion. Honest and authentic come to mind as apt adjectives, despite the current overuse of those descriptors. The fact is that the poems are proof of the poet’s dogged internal work, and for Hollander to have translated this journey into such graceful and relatable poems is stunning.
