Summary
In Infinite Sky Divided, Howard Altmann maps the territories where memory intersects with history, where personal grief meets collective trauma. These luminous poems move with the precision of a master craftsman, weaving through landscapes both intimate and vast — from wartime Budapest to contemporary Kyiv, from Portuguese cobblestones to American hotel bars.
Altmann’s voice carries the weight of witness, transforming moments of profound stillness into revelations. Whether observing a dead bird in snow, listening to Fado in Lisbon’s alleys, or watching fog lift from a valley, he finds in each image a doorway to deeper understanding. His poems are both elegy and celebration, capturing how “the infinite sky divided” reflects our own fractured yet enduring humanity.
With remarkable range and emotional intelligence, Altmann proves himself a poet of rare gifts — one who can make the ordinary sacred and render the incomprehensible beautifully, painfully clear.
