Arcing across thirty years and seven volumes, Jan Zwicky's poetry has always been acutely musical (and sensitive to the silence out of which music comes). In the compositions in Chamber Music, the first anthology of Zwicky's poems, one may perceive the attunement of her vocations: poet, philosopher, violinist.
Anthology of poems by Jan Zwicky, with an introduction by Darren Bifford and Warren Heiti that situates Zwicky's poetry within her philosophical work. The afterword consists of an interview with the poet that expands on the themes of her poetry in a more personal way.
