Alice Hillers debut collection, "Bird of Winter," is a powerful and poignant exploration of the aftermath of sexual abuse. Utilizing her childhood and adolescent medical notes, Hillers crafts a redemptive language to speak the darkness of her experience. Through the excavation of histories from Pompeii and Herculaneum, she documents the grooming process that prepares a child for such abuse and the vulnerability that remains afterward. Hiller also reflects on the landscapes and relationships that sustained her during this difficult time, as well as the injury she experienced. By calling up these elements, she aims to shed light on the nature and impact of sexual abuse, a crime that affects millions worldwide. She also poses the question of how we can find our ways towards healing and justice. "Bird of Winter" is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of storytelling to heal and transform.
