The Collected Poems Of Jane Kenyon by Jane Kenyon
Jane Kenyon is one of America's best loved poets. Her previous collection, Otherwise: New & Selected Poems, published just after her death in 1995, has been a favourite among readers, with over 60,000 copies in print and is already considered a contemporary classic. Now at the ten-year anniversary of her death, this volume assembles all of her published poetry in one book. Included here are the complete poems found in her four previous volumes as well as the poems that appear in her posthumous volumes and four poems never before published in book form.
"Her words, with their quiet rapt force, their pensiveness and wit, come to us from natural speech, from the Bible and hymns, from which she derived the singular psalmlike music that is hers alone" - The New York Time Book Review "Kenyon turns simple or frankly unbeautiful things sideways and invites us to see what they offer us to love." - The New Yorker"
Jane Kenyon was the Poet Laureate of New Hampshire, where she lived with her husband, the poet Donald Hall. She died from leukaemia in 1995.
