Now, twenty years later, Graham returns with a new selection, this time from eleven volumes, including previously unpublished work, which, in its breathtaking overview, illuminates of the development of her remarkable poetry thus far.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eFrom the New World--Poems 1976-2014\u003c\/em\u003e, we can witness the unfolding of Graham's signature ethical and eco-political concerns, as well as her deft exploration of mythology, history, love and, increasingly, love of the world in a time of crisis. As the work evolves, the depth of compassion grows--gradually transforming, widening and expanding her extraordinary formal resources and her inimitable style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pages present a brilliant portrait one of the major voices of American contemporary poetry. As critic Calvin Bedient says, \"If Graham has proved oversized as a poet in the field of contemporary poetry, it is because she continually recalls the great Western tradition of philosophical and religious inquiry . . . tenaciously thinking and feeling her way through layer after layer of perception, like no poet before her.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53862717227374,"sku":"9780062315441","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_324cefa0-3c4f-4418-9357-31995ba4b68f.jpg?v=1780239944","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/from-the-new-world-poems-1976-2014","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
