Hirshfield's poems are fresh bright, very precise clear. She is a refreshing poet.--<strong>Sue Domis, Sunshine & Wisteria</strong><br><br>Jane Hirshfield's poems move like light beams -- searching, discovering, pausing to make sure. They have some of the calligraphic plainness of classical Chinese painting: a few strokes and a new landscape appears, with a life in it not seen before but at once recognized. These are poems of space, air, and a remarkable precision of observation and revealed feeling.--<strong>W. S. Merwin</strong><br><br>These poems are highly accessible....[their sense] seeps into one's consciousness, like the aftertaste of some delectable morsel.--<strong><em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong><br>
