Work
Hilger, who has taught at Rutgers, got a chance to read at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival at sixteen. [4] In 2012 and 2014, she was awarded a residency at the MacDowell Colony, where she worked in the Heyward studio. [5] There, she was also awarded the Nadya Aisenberg Fellowship in Poetry in 2012. [6]
Hilger published her debut poetry collection, Lady Be Good, with Civil Coping Mechanisms in 2016. [3] Atticus Review noted this "cinematic" collection for "a certain timelessness... or at least a sense of history", [7] and LitReactor praised the collection for "honest, elegant, gritty, and beautiful" [1] poetry. Also in 2016, she started hosting a monthly workshop and reading series at FRIEDAcommunity in her hometown [8] of Philadelphia. [9] [10]
Her second collection Morality Play was selected for The Possession Sound Reading Series from Poetry NW Editions, [2] and was published in 2022. BOMB included the collection in its "2022 Small Press Gift Guide", [11] and a review published in the magazine contrasted the collection's "understanding of how Hilger views herself" with "the archetypes of a staged womanhood" present in Hilger's first book. [12]
Hilger has published work in The Kenyon Review , Pleiades , and The Threepenny Review , and often collaborated with Dionissios Kollias on poems. [13] [14] She is the Poetry Editor for No Tokens Journal. [15]
