Now, twenty years later, Graham returns with a new selection, this time from eleven volumes, including previously unpublished work, which, in its breathtaking overview, illuminates of the development of her remarkable poetry thus far.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn From the New World--Poems 1976-2014, we can witness the unfolding of Graham's signature ethical and eco-political 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 grows--gradually transforming, widening and expanding her extraordinary formal resources and her inimitable style.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49513021407505,"sku":"CIN0062315404G","price":8.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49850210648337,"sku":"CIN0062315404VG","price":249.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0062315404.jpg?v=1751068773","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/from-the-new-world-book-jorie-graham-9780062315403","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
