Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for PoetryAn 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 postwar 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 Now, twenty years later, Graham returns with a new selection, this time from eleven volumes, including previously unpublished work, which, in its breathtaking overview, illuminates of the development of her remarkable poetry thus far.In From the New WorldPoems 19762014, we can witness the unfolding of Grahams signature ethical and ecopolitical 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 growsgradually 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.
