Such lyric simplicity is hard-earned, and comes from a rare depth of experience. Seed is the gift from this master at her work.-Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate EmeritaI have admired Janice Gould’s poetry for many years, and now the poems in Seed offer me even more to praise. How closely she looks, how wisely she sees into her own dark and complicated affections.
Clear and potently accessible, her poetry emerges from her spirit-borne vision, a vision wedded to the earth’s sensory richness. Arising from deep wisdom and humility, these lines flower from the poet’s body. And this Seed, this most recent collection of Janice Gould’s poems, is unmistakably the work of a master.
Every seed-each pinprick of promise in this green world-is a masterwork.
