The poems in Jane Kenyon’s first book are full of respect for a life deeply felt. Her vision apprehends the mystery beneath everyday circumstances and objects, from the thimble to the edges of the map. The final section is translations of six poems by Anna Akhmatova.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The detail is ravishing. Not a false line or false emotion. Every poem has the tenderness of a child and the terrible knowledge of primal life." Ruth Stone.
"Rarely does one encounter a first book which gives so much, so economically; and it is also rare that a first book leaves the reader with so rich a sense of reward, for the poet's careful labors are in the interest of the Mystery lying beneath everyday circumstances." Michael Benedikt. -- Publisher Comments

New Hampshire poetry,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: From Room to Room: Poems (Paperback)
I feel this is quality New Hampshire poetry. It makes me feel good about where I live. It also makes you feel good about yourself. This book is made even more important by the fact that I just recently learned of the author's death a few years ago.
