Fast - Poems - Thryft

Transformative poetry exploring the limits of humanity.

Recommendation: Fast by Jorie Graham could be a good read for someone seeking a thought-provoking poetry collection that pushes the boundaries of human existence. With its exploration of topics such as cyber life, 3D-printed "life," and life after death, this book offers a unique and compelling perspective on our ever-changing world. Graham's powerful words and inventive form will leave readers contemplating the nature of our collective human experience.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The first new collection of poetry in five years from Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham“Graham’s great body of work has more of life and of the world than that of almost any other poet now writing. . . . She is to post-1980 poetry what Bob Dylan is to post-1960 rock: she changed her art form, moved it forward, made it able to absorb and express more than it could before. It permanently bears her mark.” —New York TimesIn her first new collection in five years—her most exhilarating, personal, and formally inventive to date—Graham explores the limits of the human and the uneasy seductions of the post-human. Conjuring an array of voices and perspectives—from bots, to the holy shroud, to the ocean floor, to a medium transmitting from beyond the grave—these poems give urgent form to the ever-increasing pace of transformation of our planet and ourselves. As it navigates cyber life, 3D-printed “life,” life after death, biologically, chemically, and electronically modified life, Fast lights up the border of our new condition as individuals and as a species on the brink.
