Earthquakes in Your Backyard

In poems that blend sensuous lyricism with intellectual rigor, Jorie Graham "press[es] language to the breaking point" and forms it into a poetics "so personal that the poems seem to have no author at all: they exist as self made things" (The Nation). Her imaginitive rhetoric investigate a world that keeps slipping, shifting and rearranging itself into a new set of puzzles. It is with curiosity that we follow her down these unexpected portals, emerging into a particular poetry marked by the "charge of the ecstatic and the restraint of the ruminative." Reading Graham's work, what one finds is a poetry full of "clarity, ambition, heart" (jubilat). http://holloway.english.berkeley.edu/
