Recenzii
"Jane Hirshfield's poems move like light beams -- searching, discovering, pausing to make sure. They have some of the calligraphic plainness of classical Chinese painting: a few strokes and a new landscape appears, with a life in it not seen before but at once recognized. These are poems of space, air, and a remarkable precision of observation and revealed feeling." — W. S. Merwin
“Jane Hirshfield’s poems have such a wonderfully obsessive personal grammar and such delicate reversals that all objects and elements—like a house and its neighboring redwood tree—merge.” — Michael Ondaatje
“Hirshfield’s are the kind of poems that could—before you even realize it—have quietly changed your life.” — O Magazine
“These are assured, controlled poems that tread carefully where others have trampled.” — Library Journal
"These poems are highly accessible....[their sense] seeps into one's consciousness, like the aftertaste of some delectable morsel." — Kirkus Reviews
"I enjoyed this new collection very much. Hirshfield's poems are fresh bright, very precise clear. She is a refreshing poet." — Sue Domis, Sunshine & Wisteria
