Just as a gate enables passage from outside to inside, so poetry forges a connection between our outer and inner lives. One who enters completely into the experience of a poem is initiated into a deeper intimacy with life. In this brilliant and lucid series of nine essays, award-winning poet Jane Hirshfield teaches us to open our own gates of perception to recognize and appreciate the poetry in our lives.

Jane Hirshfield is the rarest of rare birds: a splendid poet and a deeply learned, intelligent scholar. The very title of her NINE GATES; ENTERING THE MIND OF POETRY, tells it all. "The Mind of Poetry? Poetry is all heart! What's all this about the MIND of poetry?" Well, Jane Hirshfield, a Soto Zen layman, knows that any world where heart and mind are separated will lead to spiritually consumptive consumer-society in which there are to be found no Sanatoriums on any magic mountain in which its malaise can be cured. With a deep, powerful intellect and a splendidly tuneful heart combined in that most wonderful of mishmashes which is the human soul, she has no peers among the living. We are most fortunate to have her.
