Description: Fast by Jorie Graham Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Jorie Grahams new book is characteristically exhilarating and inventive, exploring the limits of the human and the dark seductions of the post-human. Publisher Description A 2017 Poetry Book Society Recommendation. In her first new collection in five years, leading American poet Jorie Graham returns with her most exhilarating, personal, and formally inventive work to date. In Fast Grahams long, pliant line takes sense as far as it can go, exploring the limits of the human and the dark seductions of the post-human. Conjuring an array of voices and perspectives - from bots to the holy shroud, the ocean floor and a medium transmitting from beyond the grave - these poems give form to the increasingly rapid transformation of our planet and ourselves. As it navigates cyber life; 3d-printed life; life after death; and biologically, chemically, and electronically modified life, Fast lights up the border of our new condition as individuals and as a species on the brink. Author Biography Jorie Graham was born in New York City in 1950, the daughter of a journalist and a sculptor. She was raised in Rome, Italy and educated in French schools. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris before attending New York University as an undergraduate, where she studied filmmaking. She received an MFA in poetry from the University of Iowa. Graham is the author of numerous collections of poetry, most recently Sea Change (Ecco, 2008), Never (2002), Swarm (2000), and The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems 1974-1994, which won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. About her work, James Longenbach wrote in the New York Times: "For 30 years Jorie Graham has engaged the whole human contraption - intellectual, global, domestic, apocalyptic - rather than the narrow emotional slice of it most often reserved for poems. She thinks of the poet not as a recorder but as a constructor of experience. Like Rilke or Yeats, she imagines the hermetic poet as a public figure, someone who addresses the most urgent philosophical and political issues of the time simply by writing poems."Graham has also edited two anthologies, Earth Took of Earth: 100 Great Poems of the English Language (1996) and The Best American Poetry 1990.Her many honors include a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship and the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from The American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.She has taught at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop and is currently the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University. She served as a Chancellor of The Academy of American Poets from 1997 to 2003.
