Description

Jane Hirshfield is a visionary American writer whose poems ask nothing less than what it is to be human.

Both sensual meditations and passionate investigations, they reveal complex truths in language luminous and precise.

Rooted in the living world, her poems celebrate and elucidate a hard-won affirmation of our human fate.

Born of a rigorous questioning of heart, spirit and mind, they have become indispensible to many American readers in navigating their own lives.

Hers is a poetry of clarity and hybrid vigour, drawing deeply on English and American traditions but also those of world poetry.

The poetries of modern and classical Greece, of Horace and Catullus, of classical China and Japan and Eastern Europe all resonate in Jane Hirshfield's structures of thought and in her sensibilities.

Indelibly of our time yet seated in the lineage of poetic discovery, these poems are meant to endure.
