Sign up for Nimble Spirit Update Jane Kenyon: A Literary Life John H. Timmerman Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company 2002, 257 pages Reviewed by Pamela Johnson Critical biographies are sometimes more about the literary theories of the author of the biography than they are about the subject of the biography. Not so here. John Timmerman’s writing is both invocation (a formula for conjuring) and evocation (imaginative re-creation) and I found myself drawn deeply into the life, craft, and presence of Jane Kenyon through his work in Jane Kenyon: A Literary Life . It is Jane Kenyon that I see more clearly. It is the fierce work of poetry that I see more clearly. It is the truth and shadow of my own life that I see more clearly as a result of Timmerman’s careful and care-filled exploration. Timmerman is interested in Jane Kenyon’s spiritual journey and he uses her own words to trace that path through “Woman, Why Are You Weeping?” where belief is honed on the edge of doubt and anguish to the quiet assurance of “Let Evening Come.” He shares a story about a spiritual awakening in Jane’s early adulthood that she says changed her whole way of being in the world. She “relaxed into existence,” she once told Bill Moyers, after a particularly strong vision in which she took her place in a buoyant, shimmering, undulating stream of light. She relaxed into existence and the intertwined, simultaneous nature of beauty and suffering became powerful themes made visible by the intense, sparse, precise, luminous particularity of her poetry. “Jane’s spirituality,” says Timmerman,” was never a means for escaping existence. Rather, it enabled her to embrace reality with all its gritty beauty and intrusive suffering.”
