The Usable Field by Jane Mead

Jane Mead's poetry seems to meander from vivid thought to vivid thought. Like any great mystery (by which I mean the universal kind), there's meaning and substance, but it's for the reader to find the interconnections and define them.

I loved reading Mead's poetry, and I enjoy them even more on second and third readings as I flip back through the book. Her poetry taking on new meanings with each successive reading, as its meant to.
