Synopsis
The poems in Jane Kenyon’s first book are full of respect for a life deeply felt. Her vision apprehends the mystery beneath everyday circumstances and objects, from the thimble to the edges of the map. The final section is translations of six poems by Anna Akhmatova.

About the Author
Jane Kenyon was born in Michigan in 1947, and received her MA in English Language and Literature from the U. of M. In 1975 she moved with her husband to his family's nineteenth century farmhouse in New Hampshire. She was active in the community, particularly in the Hospice movement. Jane Kenyon died of leukemia in 1995.
Review
"The detail is ravishing. Not a false line or false emotion. Every poem has the tenderness of a child and the terrible knowledge of primal life." Ruth Stone.
"Rarely does one encounter a first book which gives so much, so economically; and it is also rare that a first book leaves the reader with so rich a sense of reward, for the poet's careful labors are in the interest of the Mystery lying beneath everyday circumstances." Michael Benedikt. -- Publisher Comments
