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 indispensable to many American readers in
navigating their own lives. Bloodaxe published her retrospective
"Each Happiness Ringed by Lions: Selected Poems" in 2004. "After"
was a Poetry Book Society Choice and shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot
Prize. It is an extended investigation into incarnation, transience
and interconnection. These alert, incisive and compassionate poems
examine the human condition through subjects ranging from
spareness, possibility, judgement and hidden grief to global
warming, insomnia, meanings in overlooked parts of speech, and the
metaphysics of sneezing. Often elegies - some overt, others
implicit - these poems resound with a bass-note awareness of time,
its inexorable subtractions but also its exuberant gifts.
