Sea Change

Jorie Graham

From Shelf: Books with words. Some of it rhymes. A lot is short. (Poetry)

Presents a poetry of the tipping point, when what is lost and damaged in our world and our humanity is forever irrecoverable and time itself has disintegrated. With a luminous formal beauty, this title brings us to the threshold of a terrifying silence and affirms the fragile tenacity of a human essence that binds us to the world.

"Sea Change" is a poetry of the tipping point, when what is lost and damaged in our world and our humanity is forever irrecoverable and time itself has disintegrated. Jorie Graham, acclaimed as one of America's most innovative poets, writes in her new book words for the 'silence-that-precedes' the once-unimaginable future in which the only ways of being human we have ever known can no longer be sustained. With a luminous formal beauty, "Sea Change" brings us to the threshold of a terrifying silence and affirms the fragile tenacity of a human essence that binds us to the world. It is poetry urgent and essential.
