Customer Reviews

Gritty and Seamless
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.

"Depending on the Light" Shines
One of San Francisco�s most promising writers, Thea Hillman digs deep to express a vast range of experiences, emotions and discoveries in this impressive collection of poetry. Packed with punch, along with poignant and surprising observations, this book will really get to you in one way or another. At times contradictory, violent, funny, innocent, raw, intelligent, brave, and always in your face, "Depending on the Light" will definitely make an impression on anyone who picks it up, so dive in!

Holding my diary key tight in my angry fist...
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.
