| "The sensuous work of Jeanne Lupton deeply touches the secret center
of things. From the mystic tradition we know that there are a thousand
paths, yet but one destination. Love, and its consequences, reverberate
in these brief, evocative lines. For those with whom they do not resound
we can only shake our heads at life unlived. Standing on the shoulders
of her sisters before her, Jeanne Lupton enriches the centuries old traditon
of the tanka; in these illuminating pages, the Way of the Lover is revealed."
Don Wentworth "Lupton's keenly observed details of her life serve as a lens focusing greater human truths; she is not just a woman, but Everywoman. She journeys through her life with the intensely emotional but never sentimental heart of a poet, faithfully recording her truths that speak to all women." M. Kei "This book shouts tanka at its best...Reading 'but then you danced' by Jeanne Lupton makes one very happy to be alive." Marvin R. Hiemstra |
