the clarity of distant things by Jane Duran
Revelations offered by art when viewed or reflected on from a distance in space or time.
'Duran twists her hybrid colours into rich, sensual, and perfectly controlled statements of memory and loss.. A poet to rejoice in.' - The Observer; 'Full of beauty and perception, these unusually supple responses seem to reach, in their open-endedness, for the infinite. Jane Duran shows a deep knowledge and engagement with the terrain in both complementary sequences. These are exquisite poems: 'Each one, clarified / true in miniature'.' - Moniza Alvi
Jane Duran was born in Cuba and raised in the USA and Chile. Selections of her poems have appeared in Poetry Introduction 8 (Faber 1993), Making for Planet Alice (Bloodaxe 1997), and Modern Women Poets (Bloodaxe 2005).
