A new collection of poetry from pulitzer prize winner Jorie Graham
In her first new collection in five years-her most exhilarating, personal, and formally inventive to date-Jorie Graham explores the limits of the human and the uneasy seductions of the post-human. Conjuring an array of voices and perspectives-from bots to the holy shroud, to the ocean floor, to a medium transmitting from beyond the grave-these poems give urgent form to the ever-increasing pace of transformation of our planet and ourselves.
