Though she published only five volumes of poetry over the course of
her career, Jane Cooper (1924-2007) was deeply admired by her
contemporaries, and teaching at Sarah Lawrence College for nearly
forty years, she served as a mentor to many aspiring poets. Her
elegant, honest, and emotionally and formally precise poems, often
addressing the challenges of women's lives-especially the lives of
women in the arts-continue to resonate with a new generation of
readers. In Jane Cooper: A Radiance of Attention, Martha Collins
and Celia Bland bring together several decades' worth of essential
writing on Cooper's poetry. While some pieces offer close
examination of Cooper's process or thoughtful consideration of the
craft of a single poem, the volume features reviews of her
collections, including a previously unpublished piece on her first
book, The Weather of Six Mornings (1969), by James Wright, a
lifelong champion of her work. Marie Howe, Jan Heller Levi, and
Thomas Lux, among others, share personal remembrances of Cooper as
a teacher, colleague, and inspiration. L. R. Berger's moving
tribute to Cooper's final days closes the volume. Jane Cooper: A
Radiance of Attention will be a welcome addition to the collection
of anyone who has already come to love Cooper's work and will
attract new readers, especially among younger poets, to her
enduring poems.
