After
'Jane Hirshfield is one of our finest, most memorable contemporary poets.' --David Baker, The American Poet 'Hirshfield's poems . . . send ripples across the reflecting pool of our collective consciousness.' -- Booklist (starred review) A profound, generous, and masterful sixth collection by one of the preeminent American poets of her generation, After explores incarnation, transience, and our intimate connection with others and with all existence. Jane Hirshfield's alert, incisive, and compassionate poems examine the human condition through subjects ranging from sparseness, possibility, judgment, and hidden grief to global warming, insomnia, the meanings to be found in generally overlooked parts of speech, and the metaphysics of sneezing. In respective series of 'assays' (meditative imaginative accountings) and 'pebbles' (each a 'brief, easily pocketable perception that remains incomplete until the reader's own response awakens inside it'), Hirshfield explores a poetry-making that
The Asking
Jane Hirshfield is a visionary American writer whose poems ask nothing less than what it is to be human. Both sensual meditations and passionate investigations of our shared and borrowed lives, they reveal complex truths in language luminous and precise. In an era of algorithm, assertion and induced distraction, Jane Hirshfield’s poems bring a much-needed awakening response, actively countering narrowness. The Asking includes work from her earlier retrospective, Each Happiness Ringed by Lions (2005), as well as drawing upon four later collections, After (2006), Come, Thief (2012), The Beauty (2015) and Ledger (2020), along with a selection of 29 new poems. It is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. The book takes its title from the close of one of those new poems: ‘don’t despair of this falling world, not yet / didn’t it give you the asking’. Interrogating language and life, pondering beauty amid bewilderment and transcendence amid transience, Hirshfield offers a signature

Isäpuolen vankina, E-bok
Jane Elliott kantaa kauheaa salaisuutta. Hänestä on tullut jo nelivuotiaana isäpuolensa orja. Isäpuoli alistaa, tyrannisoi sekä käyttää Janea seksuaalisesti hyväkseen. 17 vuoden ajan Jane joutuu elämään painajaismaisissa oloissa isäpuolensa vankina. Kun Jane 21-vuotiaana lopulta onnistuu pakenemaan isäpuolensa luota, hän päättää aloittaa uuden elämän rakastamansa miehen ja kahden lapsensa kanssa. Seuraavien vuosien ajan Jane perheineen joutuu kuitenkin elämään piilossa ennen kuin hän löytää tarpeeksi rohkeutta mennäkseen poliisin puheille.Juuri kukaan ei uskalla todistaa, kuinka kauhea ja väkivaltainen psykopaatti Janen isäpuoli on ollut. Oikeudenkäynnin tulos riippuu vain siitä, uskooko tuomioistuin Janen sydäntäraastavan tarinan.
Ten Windows
A dazzling collection of essays on how the best poems work, from the master poet and popular essayist 'Poetry,' Jane Hirshfield has said, 'is language that foments revolutions of being.' 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. 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. By expanding what is imaginable and sayable, Hirshfield proposes, poems expand what is possible. Ten Windows restores us at every turn to a more precise, sensuous, and deepened experience of our shared humanity and of the seemingly limitless means by which that knowledge is both

Nine Gates
'With the exactitude of a surgeon and the sensuous attention of a chef, Hirshfield addresses, essay by essay, the art, craft, and act of making poetry . . . These essays are both brilliantly ambitious--one random passage in her last piece, on 'writing and the threshold life, ' flows 14th-century Japanese poet Ono no Komachi (whose poems she has translated in the past) into Czeslaw Milosz into Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman--and confidently clear.' -- Village Voice Nine essays on the connection poetry forges between inner and outer lives, from esteemed poet and thinker Jame Hirshfield. Nine Gates begins with a close examination of the roots of poetic craft in 'the mind of concentration' and concludes by exploring the writer's role in creating a sense of community that is open, inclusive and able to bind the individual and the whole in a way that allows each full self-expression. in between, Nine Gates illumines the nature of originality, translation, the various strategies by which
Hirschfeld, E-bok
Whilst there have been many memoirs written by U-boat commanders of the Second World War, a book such as this, based upon the diaries of a senior Petty Officer telegraphist, written in 'real time' is something very special. Wolfgang Hirschfeld, whose diaries Geoffrey Brooks has translated is a born story teller. The principal chapters describe his experiences during six war patrols in U-109, in which he served as the senior telegraphist. His is a tale which covers the whole kaleidescope of emotions shared by men at war - a story of immense courage and fortitude, of remarkable comradeship born of the dangers, frustrations and privations shared and of transitory moments of triumph. Throughout runs a vein of humour, without which resistance to stress would have been virtually impossible. We get to know one of Germany's great U-boat aces, 'Ajax' Bleichrodt, holder of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and, in a special biographical appendix, learn how he finally cracked under the strain. The role of Admiral Karl Donitz, the dynamic commander of the U-boat service, so fascinatingly described by Hirschfeld, is of special interest - not least because even this dedicated Nazi had clearly realized by September, 1942, that the war was fast being lost. In 1944 Hirschfeld was promoted Warrant Officer and found himself on a large, schnorkel-equipped boat (U-234) heading for Japan with a load of high technology equipment and, in addition, a quantity of uranium ore. The possible significance of that uranium has been deeply researched by Geoffrey Brooks and is discussed in a second appendix.

Jane
Jane tells the spectral story of the life and death of Maggie Nelson s aunt Jane, who was murdered in 1969 while a first-year law student at the University of Michigan. Though officially unsolved, Jane s murder was apparently the third in a series of seven brutal rape-murders in the area between 1967 and 1969. Nelson was born a few years after Jane s death, and the narrative is suffused with the long shadow her murder cast over both the family and her psyche. Jane explores the nature of this haunting incident via a collage of poetry, prose, dream-accounts, and documentary sources, including local and national newspapers, related true crime books such as The Michigan Murders and Killer Among Us, and fragments from Jane s own diaries written when she was 13 and 21. Its eight sections cover Jane s childhood and early adulthood, her murder and its investigation, the direct and diffuse effect of her death on Nelson s girlhood and sisterhood, and a trip to Michigan Nelson took with her
