<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>T S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery -- and Jorie Graham. <em>The New Yorker</em> places Ms. Graham in this distinguished line of poets, heralding the Pulitzer Prize winner as a profound voice in American poetry. Now, in her eighth collection, she further enhances her reputation with a book-length sequence of verse that is a stunning work of grandeur.</p><em>The New Republic</em> writes, for 'swarm, ' in other words...read 'be born again.' Graham is writing about a spiritual turning point, a new beginning.... Beauty -- that is, the pure sense-perception which has long been a concern for Graham -- is no longer the most important criterion. Now goodness is...[and] the idea of submission, of obedience, without understanding: one must 'yield' before 'hearing the reason' for yielding.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jorie Graham proves once again to be the most formidable and innovative voice in contemporary poetry.... An exhilarating ride in "Swarm." --"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"Capacious talent.... The bodiless virtuosity of formal mastery has met the flexibility and passion of the mind and eye at liberty." --"Harvard Review"These poems are among the most intense, personal, and ardent [Graham] has written." --"Boston Book Review"Graham is quite clearly one of the most distinctive and exciting poets writing today." --"Virginia Quarterly Review<br>
