SOURCE: Barber, David. Review of Constance: Poems by Jane Kenyon. Poetry 164, no. 3 (June 1994): 161-64.
In the following review, Barber contends that some of the poems in Constance: Poems feel as if Kenyon is experimenting with, and not quite perfecting, poetry with a larger scope than that of her previous works. Barber observes, however, that other poems in this collection are extremely well written and have strong poetic and emotional impact.
