Jane Kenyon was always a quiet poet . . . Yet if you listen carefully and read between the lines, there's always noise lurking somewhere: bugs, accidents, traumas, storms, and an underlying turbulence that makes Kenyon's work darker and more interesting than most New England nature poets . . . Otherwise , published on the first anniversary of her death from leukemia, includes new poems, sections from her four previous collections, and a poignant afterward by her husband, the poet Donald Hall . . . Perhaps the most interesting and complex character [in this book] is Kenyon's own depression, often personified and omnipresent. 'Having It Out With Melancholy' reads like an argument . . . Yet this is a poet who can also write that 'Happiness is the uncle you never / knew about, who flies a single-engine plane / onto the grassy landing strip, hitchhikes / into town, and inquires at every door / until he finds you asleep midafternoon.' Indeed, Otherwise is not without its transcendent moments of joy., Kenyon's poetry is honest and earnest, rich in imagery yet free of clutter . . .

Synopsis
Otherwise collects a lifetime's work by one of contemporary poetry's most cherished talents. Opening with twenty new poems and including generous selections from Jane Kenyon's four previous books-- From Room to Room , The Boat of Quiet Hours , Let Evening Come , and Constance --this collection was selected and arranged by Kenyon herself--alongside her husband, the esteemed poet Donald Hall--shortly before her death in April 1995. This extensive gathering reveals a scrupulously crafted body of work in which poem after poem achieves a rare and somber grace. Light and shade are never far apart in these telling narratives of life and love and work at the poet's rural New Hampshire home. The shadow of depression in Kenyon's verse, which grew much darker and longer at certain intervals, has the force and heft of a spiritual presence--a god, demon, angel. Yet her work emphasizes the constant effort of her imagination to confront and even find redemption in suffering. However quiet or domesticated or subtle in her moods and methods, Kenyon was a poet who sought to discover the extraordinary within the ordinary, and her poems continue to make this discovery. As Hall writes in the afterword to Otherwise , we share "her joy in the body and the creation, in flowers, music, and paintings, in hayfields and a dog.", A collection of a lifetime's work of poetry by one of America's best-loved poets, which has sold over 60,000 copies since 1996. "Her words, with their quiet, rapt force, their pensiveness and wit, come to us from natural speech, from the Bible and hymns, from which she derived the singualr psalmlike music that is hers alone." - New York Times Book Review
