77 years old (Born on May 23, 1947)
Happy Birthday, Jane Kenyon! May your day be as delightful and timeless as the gentle verses of "Let Evening Come." Your poetry has quietly sailed into our hearts aboard "The Boat of Quiet Hours," leaving us both reflective and smiling. Who knew contemplation could pair so well with cake?Congratulations again on receiving the prestigious PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry—clearly proof that New Hampshire knows how to pick a Poet Laureate who can charm readers while gracefully navigating life's deeper waters. Here's wishing you another year filled with poetic inspiration, joyful moments, and perhaps fewer quiet hours at birthday parties!
