Untitled edit
"Some questions cannot be answered./ They become familiar weights in the hand,/ Round stones pulled from the pocket, unyielding and cool." Jane Hirshfield, poet, Princeton Class of 1973

Personal Life? edit
This article only talks about her professional life. It'd be nice if someone could insert some personal biography to help give readers possible context to her work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.226.132.106 (talk) 17:27, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Buddhist teacher edit
She was one of the presenters on a PBS presentation on the life of the Buddha, and really good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdnctx (talk • contribs) 12:23, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Major additions edit
I've added a great deal of referenced material about Hirshfield's poetry and philosophy but since my knowledge of html is limited, I may not have coded some of the references correctly. I can see that I've not correctly formatted the new section, "Poetry" and haven't added it to the content box. I'd appreciate any help. Lavenderly (talk) 14:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
I see another editor categorized the Hirshfield wiki I've significantly updated and enriched as "start" quality. And her "notability" is in question??? Lavenderly (talk) 18:53, 13 July 2013 (UTC)Lavenderly
Bibliography edit
Some nonworking links to material about April 2017 March for Science from NYTimes and WaPo need fixing. User:Lavenderly —Preceding undated comment added 14:26, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Have commenced tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and a table for individual poems; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 06:46, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
