"Jan Lee Ande gives us
poems lush with 'The sloe swarthiness of raven and crow.' She pays reverent
attention to 'all creatures tumbling under the canopy of clouds.' Her
spirit-masters are Hildegarde of Bingen, Whitman, Lorca, Rilke, but her
voice is vibrantly her own. Ande is a wonder-worker... heaven and Nirvana
blossoming here, right before our eyes."
"Jan Ande's well-crafted poems are like a fresh mountain stream that springs from ancient sources. They are animated by a deep reverence for the world, by a sense of mystic awe, by a feeling of transcendental plenitude. They put us in the presence of great mysteries."
Ande's manuscript Floating Around the Cloister is in submission.
