Brenda Hillman begins her new book in a place of mourning and
listening that is deeply transformative. 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. As always,
Hillman's vision is entirely original, her forms inventive and
playful. At times the language turns feral as the poet feels her
way toward other consciousnesses, into planetary time. 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. Hillman's prior books include Practical Water and
Seasonal Works with Letters on Fire, which received the Griffin
Prize for Poetry. Extra Hidden Life, Among the Days is a visionary
and critically important work for our time. A free reader's
companion is available online at
http://brendahillman.site.wesleyan.edu. Hardcover is un-jacketed.
