What makes us fully human
Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry by Jane Hirshfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jane Hirshfield is not just one of the finest poets writing today, she is also one of the best writers about the craft and art of poetry and its place in our contemporary world. This collection of essays is not just for the student of poetry but for anyone who cares about language and the need for art to make us wholly human.
