In a Few Minutes Before Later by Brenda Hillman Paperback Book

Description: In a Few Minutes Before Later by Brenda Hillman "[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. During an enchantment in the life Do you love a living person absolutely? Tell them now.In a half-unwieldy life you made, underthe hyaline sky, while the dead drank from zigzag pools nearby,if they saved you in your wild incapacities, in timing of the worlds harmin a little pettiness in your own heart while others took your madrigals in shreds to a tribunal, when others said you should feel grateful to be minimally adequate for the worldstriple exposure or some tired committee... The ones who love us, how do theybreak through our defenses? Were tired today. Come back later.Their baffled voices melting our wax wallswith a candle, the ones who understandwhat being is—the glowing, the broken, the wheels, the brave ones— they have their courage,you have yours,,,; when you meet the one you love,it is so rare. When you meetthe one who loves you, it is extremely rare.

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) Details ISBN0819501220 Author Brenda Hillman Pages 200 Publisher Wesleyan University Press Series Wesleyan Poetry Series Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780819501226 Format Paperback Imprint Wesleyan University Press Country of Publication United States DEWEY 811.54 Illustrations 34 color photos, 12 b&w line drawings Audience Professional & Vocational ISBN-10 0819501220 Publication Date 2024-04-25 US Release Date 2024-04-25 UK Release Date 2024-04-25 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
