Jane is able to draw great poetry out of the simple things of ordinary life. Nothing is imaginary except this poetry itself.
-
I find it pleasant and harmonious that her voice matches her poetry in calmness and clarity. I find her insights inspiring, especially the ones that arise from unlikely places.
I enjoyed "Mathematics" because it revealed that secret fear that artists have--that we're not doing something "useful"-- and then she trounces this theory at the end by suggesting that artists have a place after all-- their work "enlarges the world"... or "our idea of the world".
Snaps to you, Ms. Hishfield.

It's hard to listen to her because she reads in such a soothing manner.

radiant...AND passionate...

Mathematics -this poem does not ring true. What is really the heart in this poem? This isn't someone looking inside -it's someone looking outside -and who cares about that? The artist seems to have very little personal energy. she's reading her poem like it is a poem...not like it's passion or fun or hate. Really ugly flowers in the vase too. I guess this is what pretenciousness gets you. I hope she's written better poetry, but after three poems I can't take any more.
