Pieces of Air in the Epic

Más información sobre el libro

Brenda Hillman's latest poetry collection delves into the concept of air, both as a life-giving element and a metaphor for political and personal realities. This second installment of a tetralogy intertwines themes of nature and culture through formally inventive verses that blend epic and lyric traditions. The poems reflect on war, feminine presence, and the restorative power of memory, set against various backdrops like streets and wilderness. Hillman's work combines animist consciousness with cautionary insights, exploring the potential for human redemption through imagination.
