Synopsis
In this, the first collection by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Jorie Graham, she introduces her major metaphysical themes-- her interest in language and naming, desire, and the relationship of the self to worlds material and ethereal. Homages to Cézanne and Rothko introduce her ardor for the visual arts, echoes of which reappear throughout her later oeuvre. Everything described in this collection is brushed by the holy: wheels, levers and keys in the opening poem, "The Way Things Work"; buttons and spools in "Mother's Sewing Box"; and an artichoke in "An Artichoke For Montesque." One of the most accessible of Graham's collections, this volume is an excellent introduction to her career.
