A new volume of poems by the award-winning author of "October Palace"
Praise for "The October Palace
" "A radiant and passionate collection".
-- "New York Times Book Review"
"Hirshfield's verbal power lies in a stunning physicality and the seductively rich music that such physicality engenders...[She] writes for readers who have lived a little--that is to say, a lot; who have lost, and grieved, and know how painful the capacity to love can be".
-- "Hungry Mind Review"
"Deeply grounded in nature and in the everyday, these attentive imagistically precise, celebratory poems reveal the interconnections between interior and exterior worlds".
-- "Women's Review of Books"
"Praise for Of Gravity & Angels"
"Concrete and wedded to the tactile world, these poems give off an other-worldly beauty and resonance".
-- "San Francisco Chronicle"
"Hirshfield's poems renew, reaffirm the power of language to move deeply, to articulate experience precisely. She doesn't try to discard the tradition, but to draw from and extend it. Her poems are meant to endure".
-- "Antioch Review"
