The Best Poems of Jane Kenyon by Jane Kenyon

Published twenty-five years after her untimely death, The Best Poems of Jane Kenyon presents the essential work of one of America's most cherished poets-celebrated for her tenacity, spirit, and grace. In their inquisitive explorations and direct language, Jane Kenyon's poems disclose a quiet certainty in the natural world and a lifelong dialogue with her faith and her questioning of it. As a crucial aspect of these beloved poems of companionship, she confronts her struggle with severe depression on its own stark terms. Selected by Kenyon's husband, Donald Hall, just before his death in 2018, The Best Poems of Jane Kenyon collects work from across a life and career that will be, as she writes in one poem, "simply lasting."
Jane Kenyon (1947-1995) published four collections of poetry during her lifetime: From Room to Room, The Boat of Quiet Hours, Let Evening Come, and Constance. Her Collected Poems was published in 2005.
