Description
Jane Hirshfield's urgent new collection is a personal and communal reckoning with our time's dilemmas. Her poems inscribe a ledger of riches and failures, summoning our responsibility to sustain one another and the earth. The poems of Ledger record the present moment's gift and our moral obligation to act. Drawing on English and American traditions, as well as those of world poetry, Hirshfield's work is marked by clarity and hybrid vigour. This collection is a call to action on climate change, social justice, and the plight of refugees. Hirshfield's voice is tonic and essential, riveting attention with its breadth of inclusion and fierce awareness. These poems are meant to endure, seated in the lineage of poetic discovery while indelibly capturing our time.
