Angel’s Land

Vicky’s first chapbook is now available!

This collection of poems is written about Vicky’s life on the shores of Lake Koshkonong, near Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. There she lived in the shadow of Chief Blackhawk, frequent flooding, and an alcoholic husband. Part journal, part therapy, these poems detail the beauty and history of the lake interspersed with the weather struggles and daily trauma of living with alcoholism.

You can order this chapbook from www.amazon.com . The cost is $12.00, plus shipping and handling. If you would like an autographed copy, contact Vicky by clicking here.
