Summary
Poetry. Restless and exhilarating, Lexa Hillyer's inaugural
collection, ACQUAINTED WITH THE COLD, showcases preoccupations with
the intersection of the natural world and the urban setting.

poems, Hillyer invites the reader to live life more fully, to delve
into the wild possibilities open to us all.
