A Hand
By Jane Hirshfield
Visuals are indeed an important part of this poem. As the poet describes
various details and actions in regards to hands, what they are and what they
can do, and how they're more than just pieces of flesh or tools we use. That's
what I think anyhow. The length of the poem makes for easy reading and each
line is worded in a manner which makes adds to the effect of making the subject
of the poem, hands, so much more than they are. Hands are more than just a part of the human body. They raise questions,
they create experiences, they’re capable of more than they’re taken granted
for. Hirshfield’s poem is really quite lovely in my personal opinion because
I’m an artist and I can understand the emphasis she places on hands and what
they can do.
