false 2378916 3 <p> The <i>New York Times</i> has said that "Jorie Graham's poetry is among the most sensuously embodied and imaginative writing we have," and this new collection is a reminder of how startling, original, and deeply relevant her poetry is. In <i>Sea Change</i>, Graham brings us to the once-unimaginable threshold at which civilization as we know it becomes unsustainable. How might the human spirit persist, caught between its abiding love of beauty, its acknowledgment of continuing injury and damage done, and the realization that the existence of a "future" itself may no longer be assured? </p> <p> There is no better writer to confront such crucial matters than Jorie Graham. In addition to her recognized achievements as a poet of philosophical, aesthetic, and moral concerns, Graham has also been acknowledged as "our most formidable nature poet" (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>). As gorgeous and formally inventive as anything she has written, <i>Sea Change</i> is an essential work speaking out for our planet and the world we have known. </p> 2385915 1 4 2008 Sea Change: Poems total:62|5:19|4:22|3:11|2:6|1:4| 62 232 117 14 4 1 false false Thu Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 25 12:23:19 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 12:37:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu May 29 10:35:12 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 07:10:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 22:06:14 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 22:12:14 -0700 2009
I read this one only outdoors -- not sure what that has to do with a review, but there it is...

Despite its difficulty - or perhaps because of it - I really liked this one.
