Runaway

"Every new book by Jorie Graham is worth reading. These new poems don’t pretend to try to reach conclusions – they barely conclude, trailing off, half-punctuated, abbreviating, rushing past the utilitarian words, substituting “u” for “you” and “yr” for “your,” running on, asking “what shall I search for in the/ city of searches.” Frustrating, frustrated, afraid, panicked, pleading, Graham has once again written the poems of our moment."
