From the already much-quoted opening lines of despair and defiance (\"Let them not say: we did not see it. \/ We saw\"), Hirshfield's poems inscribe a registry, both personal and communal, of our present-day predicaments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey call us to deepened dimensions of thought, feeling, and action. They summon our responsibility to sustain one another and the earth while pondering, acutely and tenderly, the crises of refugees, justice, and climate. They consider \"the minimum mass for a whale, for a language, an ice cap,\" recognize the intimacies of connection, and meditate upon doubt and contentment, a library book with previously dog-eared corners, the hunger for surprise, and the debt we owe this world's continuing beauty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHirshfield's signature alloy of fact and imagination, clarity and mystery, inquiry, observation, and embodied emotion has created a book of indispensable poems by a \"modern master\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANE HIRSHFIELD is the author of nine books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eLedger; The Beauty; Come, Thief;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGiven Sugar, Given Salt. \u003c\/i\u003eShe is also the author of two now-classic collections of essays, \u003ci\u003eNine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTen Windows: How Great Poems Transform the World, \u003c\/i\u003e and has edited and co-translated four books presenting the work of world poets from the past.
