Description: Clearing by Lisa Hiton A new collection from poet Lisa Hiton.Arriving to the pastoral happens repeatedly and full of worry in THE CLEARING. For the pastoral stands for the fields of the Holocaust, of the imagination, of the Midwest, of the body, and even the empty field of the blank page. In the absence of knowing how to properly bury our inheritances of the 20th century, Hiton turns to fictive spectacle--to narrative invention, sensory desires, and malleable landscapes--as a last gesture toward hope. As the intellectual ambitions and fears ramp up, the urgency of the body (and the refusal to look at it) does too."Erotic and liturgical, the poems in Lisa Hitons chapbook The Clearing summon a Jewish North Shore of Chicago that shifts under iterative, imagined futures and pasts. Here, we continually mourn the speakers living father, who dies in several different Jewish histories; we reach past simple desire all the way inside the speakers lover to turn [her] heart over. Hitons evoked intimacies in The Clearing are precarious, dangerous, and heartbreakingly beautiful; in this, they match the worlds. In this dazzling chapbook (and all of Hitons oeuvre), I remain grateful for the poets commitment to capturing the ongoing instability of our safety--as Jews, as queer women, as daughters--alongside the blessed, profound joys of Jewish queer womanhood."--Rachel Mennies"Lisa Hitons poems bring me in close, then hurt me. To heal, to recover, to touch truths that have been denied, she reimagines a familys history. Obsessed with death, but having no desire to die, her speaker pushes herself to see a super bloom out of ash filled ground. This sequence moves through tundra, heat, grief, and the surreal. It celebrates love, across painful expanses, that she will not let go. Its a celebratory, queer collection. I am grateful for the way mourning rituals, in Hitons voice, become chants of persistence."--Dan KrainesPoetry.
