A Sky Held Captive: Poetry and Short Fiction

A Sky Held Captive is a collection of poetry and short fiction by an award-winning historian and author who has published over forty scholarly and general interest history works. He notes that “Sometimes stories lodge in the netherworld of the historian’s mind, waiting to emerge in a different form.” The stories included here range from an US soldier’s harrowing encounter with the Holocaust to the musings of a Death Row inmate, and a novella about a man whose life defines loneliness.
