Consumed Author:David Hill David Hill offers quirky perspectives on life, love, and globalization in his first book of poems to be published in the United States. A journalist whose normal beat is international economy and culture, Hill is known to readers of his poetry as, in the words of Light Quarterly (Chicago), "a polylingual perversely talented poet, [who] does devi... more »lishly contrived things with the language.
