Some things that particurally stand out are his poems on the death of his nephew Andrew which take you into the emotions of someone dealing with the death of a close child. The marvelous thing is that Jones's poems do not judge--they simply recreate or reveal the range of human feelings. And very often these poems guide us back from the depths of suffering to a transformed state. In his own words: "Do you know what I think, / drifting off toward dawn? / If, in the garden of the world, / there's such a thing as suffering, / I have never suffered." ( )
