Come, Thief
by Jane Hirshfield (Goodreads Author)
by Jane Hirshfield (Goodreads Author)
I often like Jane Hirshfield's poems, but then I tend to read them out of context, in magazines or journals. As a collection, "Come, Thief" feels too precious, each poem a little jewel of observation. The problem, for me, is that these little jewels pile up and become too cloying, too self-consciously "wise" and after a while, I stop trusting the poet's voice - the poems start to feel as if they're written more by formula and less by real inspiration.
