Description

The poetry in Outlier discovers in the margins of society the forgotten stories, those tales that lie outside traditional histories. Hildebrandt is a guide who takes the reader beyond the well-worn tracks of the official tour, into landscapes of word or earth that offer hints of where the real bones are buried.
