FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "[Hillmans] work is fierce but loving, risk-taking, and beautiful." - Harvard Review An iconoclastic ecopoet who has led the way for many young and emerging artists, Brenda Hillman continues to re-cast innovative poetic forms as instruments for tracking human and non-human experiences. At times the poet deploys short dialogues, meditations or trance techniques as means of rendering inner states; other times she uses narrative, documentary or scientific materials to record daily events during a time of pandemic, planetary crisis, political and racial turmoil. Hillman proposes that poetry offers courage even in times of existential peril; her work represents what is most necessary and fresh in American poetry. Author Biography BRENDA HILLMAN (Kensington, CA) is the author of 11 books of poetry from Wesleyan University Press.

Review "Hillmans latest collection gathers meditations on time, nature, contemporary life, social justice, and the ragged white moth of history in one gorgeous stampede. These are all big poems, fully observed and richly packed with Hillmans customary linguistic brio and visceral toughness."--Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal Best Books of 2022"This is a major book for our time, never turning away from erosion and the passage of time, the loss of ecosystems, and the aging of [the poets] own body."--Susan McCabe, Colorado Review"Theres no summarizing Brenda Hillmans poetry...[she] speaks like an amplified inner life, an intimate friend, a conscience."--Craig Morgan Teicher, NPR Staff picks "Books We Love""Her verses--brimming with unconventional formats and punctuation--traverse time and space."--Alta Journal"[Hillmans] most recent books are rooted in broad social and ecological interests: passion is a better term. She has invented a kind of dialogue with the earth; she writes with an intimacy and directness few equal and a magnificence of conception almost no one aspires to."--Citation from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Morton Dauwen Zabel Award 2020) Review Quote "[Hillmans] most recent books are rooted in broad social and ecological interests: passion is a better term.

With a seed bomb of words, she takes on the system... without once turning her back on lyrical splendor."--C.D. Wright, "The Book That Brenda Wrote" [from The Poet, the Lion, Talking Pictures, El Farolito, a Wedding in St. Roch, the Big Box Store, the Warp in the Mirror, Spring, Midnights, Fire & All] "Thematically significant here, time dominates, as does the looming, viscerally rendered, and gorgeously obdurate natural world, both stretching out"-- Library Journal , on Extra Hidden Life, among the Days "Hillmans work will find a ready audience in poets of her own generation, as well as those younger poets following in her footsteps, in whose hands the category of ecopoetry has exploded, sporelike, into countless unnamed species."-- Publishers Weekly , on Extra Hidden Life, among the Days , Starred review Details ISBN0819500151 Author Brenda Hillman Publisher Wesleyan University Press Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 0819500151 ISBN-13 9780819500151 Format Hardcover Imprint Wesleyan University Press Country of Publication United States Publication Date 2022-10-04 AU Release Date 2022-10-04 NZ Release Date 2022-10-04 US Release Date 2022-10-04 UK Release Date 2022-10-04 Series Wesleyan Poetry Series Illustrations 18 color photos, 12 b&w line drawings Pages 200 DEWEY 811.54 Audience Professional & Vocational We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
