World of Dew

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.

Lindsay Stuart Hill’s poems have appeared in publications such as Poetry, The Kenyon Review, Ploughshares, The Southern Review, Blackbird, and the chapbook One Life. She earned her master’s degree in creative writing from the University of Virginia, where she was awarded an Academy of American Poets Prize. She lives in Minnesota.
