>>>>> Pieces on "Pieces of Air in the Epic", by Brenda Hillman: Barbara Claire Freeman, Editor: "The generic convention of the book review is monologic; however nuanced and subtle, the constraints of the form typically allow the inclusion of only one perspective. This collection of short texts on the poems in Brenda Hillman's Pieces of Air in the Epic intends first, to present a kind of collective 'book review,' that is, a form of writing about poems that demands a plurality of individual voices; and second, to provide a forum in which poets respond to and explore a particular poem."
