Acquainted with the Cold (2012) is Lexa Hillyer’s poetry collection, published before her career as a YA novelist took off. The collection presents lyric poetry focused on themes of memory, seasonal change, and emotional distance. The title’s echo of Robert Frost signals the kind of literary tradition Hillyer is working within.
The collection exists as a standalone entry in Hillyer’s bibliography, separate from her fiction work. For readers who know Hillyer primarily through her YA novels, the poetry offers a window into her literary interests and the careful attention to language that shows up in her prose as well.
