Depending on the Light
Depending on the Light contains 64 short works of smart sophisticated sudden fiction that erupt from a core of sharp urban observations. Her language is at once insightful yet pointed, her voice clear and urgent. Gritty compassion and wry humor permeate these short short stories, and Hillman's insatiable lust for life is everywhere evident.

Thea was obviously able to pry it lose as so much common experience is reflected in these amazing pieces. This book reflects Thea's eyes on the world around her. She is a talented writer who has the ability to articulate thought into poetry.
Gritty and Seamless
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Thea's book absorbed me like so few have. All the poems and prose are gritty and raw and real, yet they are delicately woven together. It's great that you can pick up the book and read pieces at a time or read it as a montage of a woman's life and the multifacted person she is--grappling with sex, women, men, family, insecurities, and language. I would highly recommend this book to people infatuated with poetry--and people who are not.
