Poetry. "CONTANGO: the interest paid for the right to postpone fulfillment of an obligation. Often used in the context of stock and gold arbitrage." With an uncanny mix of mordant humor and compassion, Lindsay Hill's fourth full-length book of poems exposes the bad trades our culture thrives on. As Michael Davidson writes, "Lindsay Hill has written the epic of asociety based on deferred payment and delayed gratification, CONTANGO traces our compromised relation to utopia, but in its often hilarious juxtapositions of deadpan clauses and phrases, the poem offers an alternative future in which to say 'this is true' becomes the truth."

Poetry. Poetry. "In THE EMPTY QUARTER, his fifth full-length book of poetry, "Lindsay Hill creates an existential drama of loss and recovery, isolation and agora, reminiscent of Kobo Abe's powerful novel The Woman in the Dunes. The considerable beauty of the work is achieved not through rhetorical striving but by quietly establishing the precision of the case: 'She has never / stood so close / to anything / as she is / to that / which the sand / takes.' The tone and rhythm of the work are perfect, as sand, woman, and city drift into each other"--Paul Hoover.

<p>Seeking to unlock the mystery of her father's disappearance years before, a mercurial young woman comes to believe that the barren city she inhabits is actually the underworld. Occupying theliminal spaces between reality, illusion, memory and mania, Olana recounts an allegorical journey from profound disorientation to absolute clarity. Often directly addressing the reader, she shares the discovery of her father's fate while also searching to find her way back to the land of the living, stating as she does that "Every escape from hell is an act of imagination." Told in 265 short, titled passages and gathered into four parts, Tidal Lock proceeds through the polyphonic juxtapolitions of its broken narrative and startling textures, allowing for dissonance that drives gradually yet ineluctably toward its revelatory climax. Employing many of the formal innovations used in Sea of Hooks, Lindsay Hill's eagerly awaited second novel offers the reader a uniquely challenging, provocative and rewarding narrative experience.</p>
