Reviews
"Throughout The Beauty, her gracefully evocative eighth book of poems, Hirshfield is archly witty and riddling. In "My Skeleton," for example, she offers a fresh and startling look at our relationship with our bodies, a subject rooted in her fascination with perception, science, and underlying structures of all kinds. Her succinct and arresting observations--often framed within such everyday moments as waking in the morning and sitting in a kitchen, and inspired by the subtle wonders of honey, cellophane, church bells, even the journey of a common cold--swerve suddenly and exhilaratingly onto metaphysical terrain. Her pithy and disarming lyrics have a touch of Dickinson about them as she sets human dilemmas within nature's perpetual surge: "Generation. / Strange word: both making and passing." Hirshfield's contemplative acuity, erudite imagination, and exceptional fluency in image and language make for a beautifully agile and sage volume." -- Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review) " The Beauty , Jane Hirshfield's eighth collection, reveals a poet at the height of her powers. With her signature use of deceptively simple images and language, she hints at the unspoken truths that lie just beyond our perspective while celebrating the everyday details and connections that make a life. . . While many of these poems are brief, they are masterpieces in miniature. Their images are simple but not obvious; they are offered without judgment. They also reward contemplation. Hirshfield asks her readers to wait for their own reactions, suggesting that those reactions matter because they open the door to the poem's meaning, and because they unite us all. --Jeanette Zwart, Shelf Awareness A Publishers Weekly Pick of the Week

Synopsis
The Beauty, an incandescent new collection from one of American poetry's most distinctive and essential voices, opens with a series of dappled, ranging "My" poems--"My Skeleton," "My Corkboard," "My Species," "My Weather"--using materials sometimes familiar, sometimes unexpected, to explore the magnitude, singularity, and permeability of our shared existence. With a pen faithful to the actual yet dipped at times in the ink of the surreal, Hirshfield considers the inner and outer worlds we live in yet are not confined by; reflecting on advice given her long ago--to avoid the word "or"--she concludes, "Now I too am sixty. / There was no other life." Hirshfield's lines cut, as always, directly to the heart of human experience. Her robust affirmation of choice even amid inevitability, her tender consciousness of the unjudging beauty of what exists, her abiding contemplation of our moral, societal, and biological intertwinings, sustain poems that tune and retune the keys of a life. For this poet, "Zero Plus Anything Is a World." Hirshfield's riddling recipes for that world ("add salt to hunger"; "add time to trees") offer a profoundly altered understanding of our lives' losses and additions, and of the small and larger beauties we so often miss.

    Great book, as described. When USPS lost the package, the seller responded to my message with some suggestions about how to locate it. I put in some time with the USPS bureaucracy and eventually the package arrived.

    This Bible was practically brand new but not in the box. It still had the Cambridge warranty card, and the ribbons were still tucked from the factory. It is an excellent Bible in excellent condition, and at a great price too. It was not packaged very well, simply slipped into a plastic shipping bag and sealed (no other protection) but it did arrive undamaged. Shipping was super fast. However, there were initials imprinted on the cover, not mentioned in the listing. Otherwise, perfect!
