The Asking<\/em> is the long-awaited new and selected collection by Jane Hirshfield<\/a>, the author of \u201csome of the most important poetry in the world today\u201d (The New York Times Magazine<\/em>), assaying the ranges of our shared and borrowed lives: our bonds of eros and responsibilities to the planet; the singing dictions and searchlight dimensions of perception; the willing plunge into an existence both perishing and beloved, dazzling \u201ceven now, even here.\u201d A preeminent voice in contemporary literature, Major Jackson<\/a> offers steady miracles of vision and celebrations of language in rapturous, sophisticated poems.\u00a0Razzle Dazzle<\/em> traces the evolution of Jackson\u2019s transformative imagination and fierce music through five acclaimed volumes, and includes over three dozen new poems. Moderated by Matthew Zapruder<\/a> (Story of a Poem<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\"\"In an era of algorithm, assertion, silo, and induced distraction, Jane Hirshfield\u2019s poems bring a much-needed awakening response, actively countering narrowness.\u00a0The Asking<\/em>\u00a0takes its title from the close of one of its thirty-one new poems:\u00a0\u201cdon\u2019t despair of this falling world, not yet\u00a0<\/em>\/\u00a0didn\u2019t it give you the asking.\u201d<\/em> Interrogating language and life, pondering beauty amid bewilderment and transcendence amid transience, Hirshfield offers a signature investigation of the conditions, contradictions, uncertainties, and astonishments that shape our existence. A leading advocate for the biosphere and the alliance of science and imagination, she brings to both inner and outer quandaries an abiding compass: the choice to embrace what is, to face with courage, curiosity, and a sense of kinship whatever comes. In poems that consider the smallest ant and the vastness of time, hunger and bounty, physics, war, and love in myriad forms, this collection\u2014drawing from nine previous books and five decades of writing\u2014brings the insights and slant-lights that come to us only through poetry\u2019s arc, delve, and tact; through a vision both close and sweeping; through music-inflected thought and recombinant leap. With its quietly magnifying brushwork and numinous clarities,\u00a0The Asking<\/em> expands our awareness of both breakage\u2019s grief and the possibility for repair.<\/p>\n

\"\"A preeminent voice in contemporary literature, Major Jackson offers steady miracles of vision and celebrations of language in rapturous, sophisticated poems. Razzle Dazzle<\/em>\u00a0traces the evolution of Jackson\u2019s transformative imagination and fierce music through five acclaimed volumes: his Cave Canem Poetry Prize\u2013winning debut,\u00a0Leaving Saturn<\/em>\u00a0(2002), which captures the spirit of resilience in the Philadelphia neighborhoods of the poet\u2019s youth;\u00a0Hoops<\/em>\u00a0(2006), which finds transcendence in the solemn marvels of ordinary lives;\u00a0Holding Company<\/em>\u00a0(2010), which shifts away from narrative to explore the seductive force of art, literature, and music;\u00a0Roll Deep<\/em>\u00a0(2015), which addresses human intimacy, war, and the spirit of aesthetic travel; and his vulnerable, philosophical latest,\u00a0The Absurd Man<\/em> (2020). The volume opens with over three dozen new poems that erupt into full-throated song in the face of indignity and invite us into a passionate experience of the world. Taken together, these two decades of writing offer a sustained portrait of a poet \u201cbound up in the ecstatic,\u201d whose buoyant lyricism confronts the social and political forces that would demean humanity. Equally attuned to sensuous connection, metaphysical inquiries, the natural world, and ever-changing urban landscapes, Jackson possesses a sensibility at once global and personal, driven by an enduring conviction in the possibilities of art and language to mark our lives with meaning. Whether addressing racial conflict and the ongoing struggle for human dignity in America, bearing witness to the plight of refugees, or grieving the contradictory nature of humankind, these dexterous poems proclaim the remarkable power of renewal, justice, and accountability.<\/p>\n
