5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty and Seamless, May 3, 2001

By

This review is from: Depending On The Light (Paperback)

Thea's book absorbed me like so few have. All the poems and prose are gritty and raw and real, yet they are delicately woven together. It's great that you can pick up the book and read pieces at a time or read it as a montage of a woman's life and the multifacted person she is--grappling with sex, women, men, family, insecurities, and language. I would highly recommend this book to people infatuated with poetry--and people who are not.

One of San Franciscos most promising writers, Thea Hillman digs deep to express a vast range of experiences, emotions and discoveries in this impressive collection of poetry.

Thea was obviously able to pry it lose as so much common experience is reflected in these amazing pieces. This book reflects Thea's eyes on the world around her. She is a talented writer who has the ability to articulate thought into poetry.
