Too Heavy for Angels - Paperback

Art and personal family tragedy are canvases of this poet's remarkable collection, Too Heavy for Angels. These poems refer to art while creating profound portraits of of life's inalienable hardships and griefs but leaving the reader breathless with its beauty as well.

In her book Too Heavy for Angels, Victoria Wyttenberg does the impossible: Celebrates life even when life includes unimaginable pain. With the steady hand of a painter, Wyttenberg ushers us through the deaths of her parents, husband, sister, and two adult children, all the while celebrating the beauty of the world even from the dark cave of loss. This book is a light for us to hold, be healed, and be guided by.

-Matthew Dickman, author of Husbandry
