Review: Ledger: Poems

 

Ledger: Poems by Jane Hirshfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars 

A bit uneven in places where some poems feel like exercises, this is still another worth collection by one of my favorite poets, Jane Hirshfield. She has the ability to weave image, autobiography, nature, politics, and philosophy with just the right words.

Review: After

 After by Jane Hirshfield

My rating: 4 of 5 stars 

A beautiful collection 

Hirshfield at her worst is better than most of our bests. Not that this collection is in any way unsatisfactory. It may not be her best but it still echoes with beauty and pain and acceptance.
