Jane Hirshfield recommends
The Snow Watcher, poems by Chase Twichell: “Chase Twichell’s new poems are both austere and luminous, both quiet and deeply startling. Her encounter with contemplative mind yields a poetry unlike any other-a new integration of Zen practice and American experience, American sentences. An utterly compelling and extraordinary book.” (Ontario)
