Zen, Science and Poetry
In this solo virtuoso reading, Jane Hirshfield’s meditative poems open spiritual perspectives in daily moments. Her book of essays Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry is a classic, at the intersections of Zen Buddhist practice, thoughtful immediacy, and verse. Ranging from the political, ecological, and scientific to the metaphysical, personal, and passionate, Hirshfield praises the radiance of particularity and reckons the consequence of the daily. Her poems and essays traverse the crises of the biosphere, questions of social justice, and the myriad interior quandaries of heart, mind, and spirit. She studied at the San Francisco Zen Center for eight years. Jane Hirshfield is the recipient of many accolades, including being a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and winning both the California Book Award and The Poetry Center Book Award. She co-founded the Poets for Science traveling installation, which premiered on the Washington Mall at the first March for Science. She was elected to the Board of Chancellors of the Academy of American Poets. Her ten poetry books include the newly published The Asking: New & Selected Poems (2023) and Ledger (2020). This Mill Valley author contributes to many readings and conferences throughout the state and the nation.
