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\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn investigation into incarnation, transience, and our intimate connection with all existence, by one of the preeminent poets of her generation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.96 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 20, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758749286688,"sku":"9780060779191","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/27cb0951a2bcf24ee58b0ae6578dafeb.webp?v=1780134428","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/after-poems-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
