Extra Hidden Life, Among the Days
Poetry of grief and sustenance from an award-winning poetBrenda Hillman begins her new book in a place of mourning and listening that is deeply transformative. As always, Hillman's vision is entirely original, her forms inventive and playful. By turns plain and transcendent, these poems meditate on trees, bacteria, wasps, buildings, roots, and stars, ending with twinned elegies and poems of praise that open into spaces that are both magical and archetypal for human imagination: forests and seashores.
This is poetry as a discipline of love and service to the world, whose lines shepherd us through grief and into an ethics of active resistance. At times the language turns feral as the poet feels her way toward other consciousnesses, into planetary time. Hillman's prior books include Practical Water and Seasonal Works with Letters on Fire, which received the Griffin Prize for
