Hardback. Condizione: Good. Jorie Graham's collection of poems, Never, primarily addresses concern over our environment in crisis. One of the most challenging poets writing today, Graham is no easy read, but the rewards are well worth the effort. While thematically present, her concern is not exclusively the demise of natural resources and depletion of species, but the philosophical and perceptual difficulty in capturing and depicting a physical world that may be lost, or one that we humans have limited sight of and into. As she notes in "The Taken-Down God": "We wish to not be erased from the / picture. We wish to picture the erasure. The human earth and its appearance. / The human and its disappearance." With a style that is fragmented and somewhat whirling--language dips and darts and asides are taken--Graham stays on point and presents an honest intellect at work, fumbling for an accurate understanding (or description) of the natural world, self-conscious about the limitations of language and perception.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Poetry An indispensable volume of poems, selected from almost four decades of work, that tracks the evolution of one of our most renowned contemporary poets, Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham. The Poetry Foundation has named Jorie Graham "one of the most celebrated poets of the American post-war generation." In 1996, her volume of poetry selected from her first five books, Dream of a Unified Field, won the Pulitzer Prize. Now, twenty years later, Graham returns with a new selection, this time from eleven volumes, including previously unpublished work, which, in its breathtaking overview, illuminates of the development of her remarkable poetry thus far. In From the New World--Poems 1976-2014, we can witness the unfolding of Graham's signature ethical and eco-political concerns, as well as her deft exploration of mythology, history, love and, increasingly, love of the world in a time of crisis. As the work evolves, the depth of compassion grows--gradually transforming, widening and expanding her extraordinary formal resources and her inimitable style. These pages present a brilliant portrait one of the major voices of American contemporary poetry. As critic Calvin Bedient says, "If Graham has proved oversized as a poet in the field of contemporary poetry, it is because she continually recalls the great Western tradition of philosophical and religious inquiry . . . tenaciously thinking and feeling her way through layer after layer of perception, like no poet before her.".…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. "Graham's poetry is among the most sensuously embodied and imaginative writing we have." --New York Times A startlingly original collection of poems from Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham An extraordinary American artist whom The New Yorker calls "a mesmerizing voice," Graham has been placed in the poetic lineage of such masters as T.S. Eliot and John Ashbery. In Place, Graham explores the ways in which our imagination, intuition, and experience aid us in navigating a world moving towards its own annihilation and a political reality where the human person and its dignity are increasingly disposable. These poems seek out sites of wakeful resistance and achieved presence. From the natural world to human sensation, they investigate the reality and irreducible originality of our "inner landscapes." They test the unstable "congeries" of the self, its ever-shifting vitality, and the creative tensions that inevitably exist within and between its interior and exterior life-particularly as these are shaped by language.  In an era where distrust and evasion of human experience and its attendant accountability are pervasive, Place calls us to re-inhabit and make full use of--and even rejoice in--a more responsive and responsible place of the human in the world. …

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. A New York Times Notable Book "These poems are among the most intense, personal, and ardent [Graham] has written." --Boston Book Review The eighth collection of poetry from Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham T.S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery--and Jorie Graham. The New Yorker places Ms. Graham in this distinguished line of poets, heralding her as a profound voice in American poetry. In Swarm, she further enhances her reputation with a book-length sequence of verse that is a stunning work of grandeur. The New Republic writes, "for 'swarm,' in other words.read 'be born again.' Graham is writing about a spiritual turning point, a new beginning. Beauty--that is, the pure sense-perception which has long been a concern for Graham--is no longer the most important criterion. Now goodness is.[and] the idea of submission, of obedience, without understanding: one must 'yield' before 'hearing the reason' for yielding.". …
