Harvard Review praises Hillman's work for being fierce, loving, risk-taking, and beautiful, and for re-casting innovative poetic forms as instruments for tracking human and non-human experiences. She uses short dialogues, meditations, or trance techniques, as well as narrative, documentary, or scientific materials, to record daily events during a time of pandemic, planetary crisis, political and racial turmoil. Hillman believes that poetry offers courage even in times of existential peril, and her work represents what is most necessary and fresh in American poetry.

Brenda Hillman is a groundbreaking ecopoet who has paved the way for numerous young and emerging artists. Her work is characterized by its fierce yet loving, risk-taking, and beautiful nature. Hillman has been an iconoclast in the poetic world, continuously reimagining innovative poetic forms as tools to explore human and non-human experiences.

In her poetry, she employs various techniques, such as short dialogues, meditations, or trance techniques, to delve into the inner realms of the human psyche. At other times, she uses narrative, documentary, or scientific materials to document the daily events of a time marked by pandemic, planetary crisis, political and racial turmoil.

One of Hillman's central beliefs is that poetry possesses the power to offer courage even in the face of existential peril. Her work exemplifies what is most essential and fresh in American poetry, pushing the boundaries of form and content.

Through her innovative and thought-provoking poetry, Hillman has made a significant impact on the literary landscape, inspiring a new generation of artists to embrace their creativity and use poetry as a means of exploring the complexities of the human experience. Her work continues to resonate with readers worldwide, making her a true pioneer in the field of ecopoetry.
