Sinossi
Quella di Jorie Graham è una delle voci poetiche più importanti e significative dei nostri giorni. L’uscita di ogni suo libro è sempre, immancabilmente, un evento. In questa nuova raccolta – la più personale, coinvolgente e innovativa – Graham esplora i limiti dell’umano e le inquietanti seduzioni del post-umano. Evocando una varietà di voci e prospettive diverse – dalla sacra sindone ai fondali oceanici – questi testi danno forma e urgenza alla sempre più rapida trasformazione da cui è investito il pianeta: tra cyber-vita, «vita» stampata in 3D, vita dopo la morte, vita biologicamente, chimicamente ed elettronicamente modificata, fast getta luce sulla nostra esistenza, sulla nostra individualità e su una civiltà che sembra correre veloce verso la sua implosione.

Damned good poetry, difficult as hell, but rich and vital and urgent. I finished the last poem MOTHER'S HANDS DRAWING ME listening to Public Image Ltd. and it made the cruelest sense. A kind of rage and nihilism seemed to erupt from the this final work that suggested she has some inkling of the fina Leggi tutto
Rating: 2 STARS 2017; Ecco/HarperCollins (Review Not on Blog) I cannot get into this poetry style so it was hard for me to read. I love free style and storytelling but this was hard to feel any emotion to. ***I received an eARC from EDELWEISS***
Very challenging, but rewarding and almost oppressively effective in its portrayal of the psychic weight of loss.
Fast was a dense and unusual book of poems. Not nearly so difficult as some of the experimental verse I've been reading recently, it still was characterized by a kind of obliqueness and formal inventiveness. Many poems shuttled between verse and prose, long lines and short lines; some had arrows in
