Jane Hirshfield's alert, incisive, and compassionate poems examine the human condition through subjects ranging from sparseness, possibility, judgment, and hidden grief to global warming, insomnia, the meanings to be found in generally overlooked parts of speech, and the metaphysics of sneezing. In respective series of \"assays\" (meditative imaginative accountings) and \"pebbles\" (each a \"brief, easily pocketable perception that remains incomplete until the reader's own response awakens inside it\"), Hirshfield explores a poetry-making that looks simultaneously outward and inward, finding resonant and precise containers for the deepest currents of our inner life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Hirshfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060779195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060779191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.08w x 0.30d","brand":"Jane Hirshfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047723167999,"sku":"9780060779191","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4cd3e0ca-dbf9-4b15-97a7-dea522c19414.jpg?v=1684991824","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-jane-hirshfield-9780060779191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
