Poised in the slender moment between too early and too late, between the difficult past and the unimaginable future, Mead's poems remind us that the old debates about fate and free will, nature and nurture, are also matters of personal urgency. https://www.janewmead.com/books/theusablefield monthly 0.5 2020-12-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fcbb05114b30c14166cea61/t/5fcd0d1005ddc9599d265f91/1607273764870/9781882295692_FC_RGB.jpg Books - The Usable Field - The Usable Field These lyric elegies, spoken by the "under-self," become a series of subtle chants which sing the speaker into being both physically and spiritually, and through which Mead seeks solace, enlightenment, and joy in the cycles of life and death in the natural world. https://www.janewmead.com/books/generaldin monthly 0.5 2020-12-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fcbb05114b30c14166cea61/t/5fcd0f245d2e6f3bda41bf2c/1607274296291/Mead.Lord-%26-Din.jpg Books - The Lord and the General Din of the World - The Lord and the General Din of the World "There is a mood--connected to solitude--that is not loneliness and not despair, but that feels like it could turn into either if you did not try to love the world, or at least look at it attentively. This book seems written from that place. It's a book to be read slowly and quietly, if you are to feel your way into its deep sadness and its small, sudden well of joy." –Robert Hass, The Washington Post Book World https://www.janewmead.com/books/womau monthly 0.5 2020-12-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fcbb05114b30c14166cea61/t/5fcd0be2f94b6402b21e9bf3/1607273467391/9781938584329_FC_RGB.jpg Books - World of Made and Unmade - World of Made and Unmade Jane Mead's fifth collection candidly and openly explores the long process that is death. These resonant poems discover what it means to live, die, and come home again. We're drawn in by sorrow and grief, but also the joys of celebrating a long life and how simple it is to find laughter and light in the quietest and darkest of moments. https://www.janewmead.com/books/tothewren monthly 0.5 2020-12-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fcbb05114b30c14166cea61/t/5fcd0b08920f47545b9842dc/1607273332086/TTW%2BCover%2BFinal.png Books - To the Wren: Collected & New Poems - To the Wren: Collected & New Poems "Mead ... wrote clean, spare, often elegiac lines" —The New York Times This massive collection houses Mead’s life’s work: seven books spanning twenty-seven years.

With prophetic disquietude, Jane Mead's inquiry into the interconnectedness of our choices exposes our existence as paradox. Her poems beseech us to consider the consequences of our collective actions on the planet.
