NATIONAL UNIVERSITY launches its new “ The Brain is wider than the Sky”* public programming series with a reception and reading by acclaimed poet JANE HIRSHFIELD, followed by a Q & A and a book signing.
Jane Hirshfield’s poetry speaks to the central issues of human existence—desire and loss; impermanence and beauty; and the workings of both mind and heart. She explores the many dimensions of our connection to others and to the creatures and objects with which we share our lives, demonstrating with quiet authority what it means to awaken into the full capacities of attention. Described by The New York Times Book Review as “radiant and passionate,” by other reviewers as “ethically aware,” “insightful and eloquent,” and as conveying “a succinct wisdom,” her work ranges from the metaphysical and passionate to the political and scientific to the subtle unfolding of daily life
