Jane tells the spectral story of the life and death of Maggie Nelson s aunt Jane, who was murdered in 1969 while a first-year law student at the University of Michigan. Though officially unsolved, Jane s murder was apparently the third in a series of seven brutal rape-murders in the area between 1967 and 1969. Nelson was born a few years after Jane s death, and the narrative is suffused with the long shadow her murder cast over both the family and her psyche. Jane explores the nature of this haunting incident via a collage of poetry, prose, dream-accounts, and documentary sources, including local and national newspapers, related true crime books such as The Michigan Murders and Killer Among Us, and fragments from Jane s own diaries written when she was 13 and 21. Its eight sections cover Jane s childhood and early adulthood, her murder and its investigation, the direct and diffuse effect of her death on Nelson s girlhood and sisterhood, and a trip to Michigan Nelson took with her mother (Jane s sister) to retrace the path of Jane s final hours. Each piece in Jane has its own form, and the movement from each piece to the nextalong with the white space that surrounds each fragmentserve as important fissures, disrupting the tabloid, page-turner quality of the story, and eventually returning the reader to deeper questions about girlhood, empathy, identification, and the essentially unknowable aspects of another s life and death. Part elegy, part memoir, detective story, part meditation on violence (and serial, sexual violence in particular), and part conversation between the living and the dead, Jane s powerful and disturbing subject matter, combined with its innovations in genre, expands the notion of what poetry can dowhat kind of stories it can tell, and how it can tell them."
Jane Chapman loves working in the kitchen of one of Boston's fanciest hotels. Though most of her friends have married and moved to Montana as mail-order brides, she is in no hurry to marry. She enjoys her busy city life. But when she unexpectedly loses her job and is unable to find a new position, panic begins to set in. Reluctantly, she agrees to go to Montana to be a wealthy man's wife. He is seeking someone young and attractive and good in the kitchen. She's nervous, but so many of her friends live in Bozeman now and have all found love, so she is hopeful too. Until she meets her intended and knows that she could never find love with John Angell. Though he's a handsome man, his eyes are as dark as his hair and so cold that she's chilled to her core. Charlie Donovan steps up to help her escape by telling John the white lie that they're already engaged. He then insists that for her safety, they should marry, because he doesn't trust John Angell otherwise.
Tonight is the first Friday night dance of the summer.
