Description: "In her newest poems, Brenda Hillman continues her exploration of nature and culture in ways that demonstrate her original place in experimental lyric traditions. Pieces of Air in the Epic is the second book of a tetrology that takes the elements - earth, air, water, fire - as its subject. Just as Hillman's collection Cascadia explores "earth," the present collection considers "air"--The many meanings of the word and the life-giving medium we breathe - to test a reality that is both political and personal."--Jacket.
