Jorie Graham

This collection has characteristics of the perfect art exhibit — smart staging has transformed the artist’s familiar work into something foreign and riveting. Graham, an expert designer, has organized poems from disparate books into a seamless whole. The book manages to showcase changes in Graham’s intricate poetic sensibility without diluting the unique, visceral effect one receives from reading her work. / CHRISTIAN HARDER, Special correspondent, Richmond Times Dispatch
