The Usable Field
by Jane Mead
On This Page
Description
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.Tags

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.
