Overview

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.

Reviews

""Hill's poems ring with a lyrical clarity that invites us to embrace the mysteries of everyday life. These are poems to live in and to get lost in, and, if you are patient and lucky, to never quite find your way out of. Gentle, honest, and unstintingly truthful, this is a beautiful and life-affirming book.""--Ronald Wallace
