One of the most challenging poets writing today, Graham is no easy read, but the rewards are well worth the effort. While thematically present, her concern is not exclusively the demise of natural resources and depletion of species, but the philosophical and perceptual difficulty in capturing and depicting a physical world that may be lost, or one that we humans have limited sight of and into. As she notes in \"The Taken-Down God\" \"We wish to not be erased from the \/ picture. We wish to picture the erasure. The human earth and its appearance. \/ The human and its disappearance.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a style that is fragmented and somewhat whirling--language dips and darts and asides are taken--Graham stays on point and presents an honest intellect at work, fumbling for an accurate understanding (or description) of the natural world, self-conscious about the limitations of language and perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 9.3 x 7.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 04, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Massachusetts Book Award (MassBook) (2003)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47352989024505,"sku":"9780060084721","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/G7tsLY3BBj9780060084721_42ddb0ae-45f2-452c-8cfd-36372dad16c6.webp?v=1769815980","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/never-poems-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
