The October Palace
Author(s): Jane Hirshfield
Review(s):
"An exquisite accomplishment. These serene and painterly meditations quietly blossom into luminous and sensual lyric reckonings."
"A radiant and passionate collection."
"Hirshfield's new collection shows her distinctive imagination, clearly nourished by serious commitment to the practice of Buddhist mediation but by no means narrow in range. I enjoy her attentiveness, the concrete details and musicality of her images, and the way abstract and concrete interweave in illumination throughout her work. The October Palace is a book to welcome and often return to."
"The prevailing emotional tone in our poetry is elegiac: the lament, doubtless spiced by fear, is for the speed and relentlessness of change. But Jane Hirshfield's poems praise the ceaseless mutability of life as its central splendor. Thus her poems, with their rare combination of grace and velocity, offer us not only their own considerable pleasures, but habits of perception quite different from what our poetry customarily offers."
