Errancy Poems

"It is her most challenging, most rewarding book. Graham has not simply forged a style; she is exploring the very notion of what it means for a poet to have a style....The difficulty of 'The Errancy'...feels earned, essential to the texture of its language....'The Errancy' is marked by Graham's interest in philosophy and literary theory, but the poems have none of the arid consistency one might associate with these modes of writing....These poems offer sophisticated meditations on identity, language and culture, but the poems are deeply moving because they turn against their own best discoveries, refusing to settle for the consolation of what is merely right. 'The Errancy' provides all the satisfactions we expect from poetry...along with an intellectual rigor we don't expect. No one but Jorie Graham could have written it."Graham, Jorie is the author of 'Errancy Poems' with ISBN 9780880015295 and ISBN 0880015292.
