Just re-read this. Still one of my favorite poetry books, and definitely Brenda's best. Her voice (and thought) comes through so human-ly, flawed and immediate. Every time I re-read this, I get something more.
My interest ebbed & flowed while reading Hillman's third installment in her ecopoetic series of books organized around the 4 elements. Cascadia, the first of the series, still ranks number 1 with me.
I do admire how Hillman is able to blend political activism with sensitivity to both the language and the environment. Language is environment after all.
