Description
“Jan Schmidts poems shimmer around the contours of female bodies, knowing, intimate, separate, life light. . . . every reader of She Had This Memory will at some subconscious point replace the She with I. Schmidts superb craftsmanship enables such sharing by means of compelling rhythms, tough yet sensitive diction, images so right they startle, brilliant negotiation of the poetic line. When, for one small example, I read a woman scrubbing the cold/round stones feeling with her not only the temperature and texture of stones but also of the space around them, I know I am in good hands.” Clarinda Harriss
