Infos

What are the hearts necessities?Its a question Jane Tyson Clement (19172000) asked herself over and over, both in her poetry and in the way she lived. Her observation of the seasons of the soul and of the natural world have made her poems beloved to many readers, most recently singer-songwriter Becca Stevens, who has given Clements poetry new life and a new audience as lyrics in her songs. This book interweaves Clements best poems with the story of her life, and with commentary by Stevens describing how specific poems speak to her own life, passions, and creative process.Like many great poets, from Emily Dickinson to Gerard Manley Hopkins, Jane Tyson Clement (19172000) has found more readers since her death than in her lifetime. A new generation that prizes honesty and authenticity is finding in Clement a restless, questing soul with a life as compelling as her art a voice that expresses their own deepest feelings, values, and desires.
