These poems are at once energetic and contemplative, intimate and direct, as Warren focuses her attention on capitalism, gender, love, inequality, and resistance. Despite the dystopian now, Warren finds promise in the smallest human instances of tenderness, ecological connection, and political solidarity. \u003cem\u003eLittle Hill \u003c\/em\u003eis about learning to live and love in the 21st century while not shying away from all there is to struggle against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for\u003cem\u003e Little Hill\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In \u003cem\u003eLittle Hill \u003c\/em\u003eAlli Warren's principle method is articulation of exquisite units of speech (thought) that, maintaining separation, are capable of connection. The line might be a sentence or a part of one ... I mean a delicious sense of grammatical distinctness is maintained. The poet, also a lone unit, seems to exist less in relation than as that lone one, condemning this hard world with its villain work and elusive hierarchies. The language is precise, lush, unexpected and often thrilling. Articulation would seem to be the true other, or maybe nature is. The book is gift more than condemnation, though as the latter it's unsparing. Still, it's a gift.\"--\u003cstrong\u003eAlice Notley\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eFor the Ride\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBenediction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The number of gasps and everything else gets lost in the concentration of \u003cem\u003eLittle Hill\u003c\/em\u003e.

'I saw the death of the earth in a child's toy, ' she writes. Everywhere the speaker looks there is 'congealed shit, sometimes on sale.' Yet yearning, even as it is raised tentatively, is not crushed. In and against it all, a question is raised--the question of what it means to love in times of terror.\"--\u003cstrong\u003eJackie Wang\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of Carceral Capitalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e City Lights Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780872868052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Alli Warren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645487673500,"sku":"9780872868052","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f45697e2-f9d8-4ecf-9867-64a42b9f9bb8.jpg?v=1603861234","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/little-hill-9780872868052","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
