Amazing work from a brilliant artist

"A good poem is always a reaction, a moment of acute surprise that occurred in the soul of the speaker." Jorie Graham explores the natural and manmade world through a series of exceptionally well-crafted poems. Her voice is unique yet familiar, both strongly intellectual and intuitively inchoate. Of her work James Tate has said: "Jorie Graham is a poet of staggering intelligence. Her poems are constantly on the attack. She assays nothing less than the whole body of our history reshaping myth in ways that risk new knowledge, fresh understanding of all that we might hope to be."
