Description

Jane Hirshfield is a visionary, profoundly original 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 indispensable to many American readers in navigating their own lives.

Bloodaxe published her retrospective Each Happiness Ringed by Lions: Selected Poems in 2005, followed by After in 2006, a Poetry Book Society Choice which was short-listed for the T.S.

Eliot Prize, and then Come, Thief in 2011. Jane Hirshfield's latest collection, The Beauty, opens with a series of poems exploring both the profundities and the quirks of our shared human existence.

She draws intimate meaning from multiple realms: science, culture, language itself, and above all the luminous materials and minutely particular emotions of daily life.

In their robust negotiation with fate and justice, these clear and moving poems open a new and steepened understanding of our lives' full measure of losses, knowledge, and loves.
