Ten Windows Hirshfield Jane
A dazzling collection of essays on how the best poems work, from the master poet and popular essayistPoetry, Jane Hirshfield has said, is language that foments revolutions of being. Closely reading poems by Dickinson, Bashō, Szymborska, Cavafy, Heaney, Bishop, and Komunyakaa, among others, Hirshfield reveals how poetry's world-making takes place: word by charged word. In ten eloquent and highly original explorations, she unfolds some of the ways this is done--by the inclusion of hiddenness, paradox, and surprise; by a perennial awareness of the place of uncertainty in our lives; by language's own acts of discovery; by the powers of image, statement, music, and feeling to enlarge in every direction.
Ten Windows restores us at every turn to a more precise, sensuous, By expanding what is imaginable and sayable, Hirshfield proposes, poems expand what is possible.
