dc.description.abstract	How to Match the Sky is a collection of poetry focusing on the struggle between freedom and control through an examination of familial expectations and social norms. These poems question cultural boundaries and racial lines, in pursuit of authenticity and deep self-acceptance. A father appears as a retired show girl. A mother cripples her son. A daughter baths her father. A white girl gets kicked off a playground. A woman makes love to a plant. A murder is committed on a porch. A boy learns how to match the sky. A reader can get lost in this hauntingly irreverent meditation on family, suppression, race, addiction and the struggle for liberation. Readers can also be found and find themselves inside this collection, as they catch pieces of their childhood souls in Hoeft’s reflective poems. How to Match the Sky leaves those who partake of its body with the consciousness that there will always be a sense of that encounter’s intimacy that can never be left behind.	en_US
