After: Poems by Jane Hirshfield
2.0

It was one of my goals this month to read a new book of poetry last night, and I’ve had this one on my shelf since she came to a local event (that I didn’t even attend...) — it was a lovely way to spend a mellow evening, although not my most favorite book or style of poetry. Her poems in grief specifically moved me, and I’ll return to them again for the way they so simply and beautifully wrapped words around such a complex feeling.
