ReviewsHuleatt's voice is captivating as she traces the history of a compassionate life lived. This moving collection on the life of a true poet is stellar. The final poem in the collection brought me to tears. --Sheryl Luna, poet, author of Pity the Drowned Horses, This beautiful homage to Jane Tyson Clement and her poetry, which will continue to resonate with readers and, through Becca Stevens' compositions, music lovers, also celebrates the kind of artistic collaboration that spans time and opens us to our own "heart's necessities."-- Booklist, Through hard-won religious commitment, Jane Tyson Clement's poems rose from feminine eloquence, in the manner of Edna St. Vincent Millay and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, to something closer to universal.-- Sarah Ruden, author of The Face of Water, The genesis of The Heart's Necessities is a complex and interesting one. The journeys of being led from one discovery to another are very profound. --Carolyn Gelland-Frost, poet, author of Dream-Shuttle, A gem of a book ... Poetry by an obscure dead poet, but with a twist: this poet, Jane Tyson Clement, has a huge fan in jazz/indie rock musician and singer Becca Stevens, and Plough Publishing has put the two of them together. It's an exciting book on many levels, especially when you hear the poetry put to music. -- Independent Publisher Magazine
