Description: How do we make sense of our suffering? World of Dew grapples with this question by embracing impermanence--the death of a loved one, the transmutation of an old belief, the adoption of a new culture. Moving from the tide pools of Maine to the streets of Hyderabad, Lindsay Stuart Hill entwines grief and awe, beauty and violence, truth and delusion. These poems form a scrapbook of missing girls, clothes drying on a line, and lingering romances. This is the world of dew--a gorgeous and fragile cosmos where we know nothing lasts, and yet we remain--questioning, dreaming, hoping.
Brief description: Lindsay Stuart Hill grew up in New Hampshire and lives in Minnesota. Her poems have appeared in publications such as Poetry, The Kenyon Review, Ploughshares, The Southern Review, and Blackbird.
Review Quotes: "A tender and meditative collection, exploring joy, grief, loss, and wonder in sharp-eyed poems filled with grace. One can feel the poet's wise gaze fall over these pages, lighting the natural landscape of Hill's mind in all its enlightened awe."--Safiya Sinclair
