The Region of Unlikeness Prayer Over a dock railing, I watch the minnows, thousands, swirl themselves, each a minuscule muscle, but also, without the way to create current, making of their unison (turning, re- infolding, entering and exiting their own unison in unison) making of themselves a visual current, one that cannot freight or sway by minutest fractions the water's downdrafts and upswirls, the dockside cycles of finally-arriving boat-wakes, there where they hit deeper resistance, water that seems to burst into itself (it has those layers) a real current though mostly invisible sending into the visible (minnows) arrowing motion that forces change this is freedom. This is the force of faith. Nobody gets what they want. Never again are you the same. The longing is to be pure. What you get is to be changed.

Missing: corners, fields, completeness: holes growing in it where the eye looks hardest. Below, his chest, a sacred weightless place and the small weight of your open hand on it. And these legs, look, still yours, after all you've done with them. Explain the six missing seeds. Explain muzzled. Explain tongue breaks thin fire in eyes. Learn what the great garden-(up, up you go)-exteriority, exhales: the green never-the-less the green who-did-you-say-you-are and how it seems to stare all the time, that green, until night blinds it temporarily. What is it searching for all the leaves turning towards you. Breath the emptiest of the freedoms. When will they notice the hole in your head (they won't). When will they feel for the hole in your chest (never). Up, go. Let being-seen drift over you again, sticky kindness. Those wet strangely unstill eyes filling their heads- thinking or sight?- all waiting for the true story- your heart, beating its little song:

V P R V ALPARAISO P OETRY R EVIEW Contemporary Poetry and Poetics Review of Jorie Graham's Ninth Book of Poetry ~E DWARD B YRNE J ORIE G RAHAM: N EVER Graham perceives the landscape with a sense of immediacy and urgency, and she promotes an interactive involvement with the environment through encounters in which the poet's structural technique and sensuous language reveal an individual in the act of contemplating the beauty or the disfigurement of the world she discovers around her. I n her ninth collection of poems, Never, Jorie Graham offers poetry that appears to again position her among such varied and ambitious voices of the American landscape and philosophy as Walt Whitman, Wallace Stevens, T.S. Eliot, Robert Penn Warren, and John Ashbery, just to mention a handful. As in Graham's previous books, the works included in Never challenge readers to re-examine their approach to evaluating poetic presentation and invite readers to re-experience some of the more common subject matter found in American poetry. This collection particularly suggests new ways of viewing and understanding today's natural world: Graham perceives the landscape with a sense of immediacy and urgency, and she promotes an interactive involvement with the environment through encounters in which the poet's structural technique and sensuous language reveal an individual in the act of contemplating the beauty or the disfigurement of the world she discovers around her. In this manner, she also constructs an

Swarm Jorie Graham (Ecco/Harper Collins) The American poet Jorie Graham, the critics tell us, can be compared to T. S. Eliot, Emily Dickinson, and e. e. cummings. A reviewer in the Post-Dispatch said that Graham's style "is so personal that the poems seem to have no author at all..." The "Library Journal" stated that her style is "unapologetically solipsistic," one that is "almost quaintly Miltonic." And the august Richard Eder in the august New York Times said hers was a "remarkable voice." He compared her to Rilke, and said "Even as the brain struggles, the neck hairs lift." Now I have to admit that when I read stuff like this, and then leaf through her poems, my neck hairs don't do much of anything, but the rest of me gets a little weird. I feel like I've just landed on earth from the planet Ixneabar, discovering a world filled with conspiracies of nonsense. Furthermore, there are words and phrases that some of us innocents can't make head nor tail of: "the swag of clay," "nerves wearing only moonlight/whelm sprawl," "The furrow of the hard now."

In it she weaves her own poetic language with "found" language assembled from Michelangelo Pistoletto's critical Arte Povera texts and other sources. Graham is the author of eight collections of poetry, including Swarm (Ecco Press, 2000), The Errancy (1997), and The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems 1974-1994, which won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. According to poet James Tate, "Her poems are constantly on the attack. She assays nothing less than the whole body of our history, reshaping myth in ways that risk new knowledge, fresh understanding of all that we might hope to be." Graham has taught at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop and is the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University.

Graham, Jorie (1951- ), poet Jorie Graham was born in New York, New York, on May 9, 1951. She began publishing poems in 1977. Her first volume of verse, Hybrids of Plants and of Ghosts (1980), features compact, intricate poems that explore death, beauty, and change. Erosion (1983) examines the connection between the body and the soul in such poems as "Reading Plato," "I Watched a Snake," and "The Sense of an Ending." In The End of Beauty (1987), Graham experiments with form, constructing subtle, abstract, intellectual poems divided into series of short numbered stanzas with missing words and lively enjambment. Like her other books, it relies on visual imagery and complex metaphors to carry its philosophical content. Region of Unlikeness (1991), which is annotated to explain textual obscurities, furthers her exploration of philosophy and religion in such poems as "The Tree of Knowledge," "The Holy Shroud," and "Chaos." She also published Materialism (1993) and contributed to several anthologies. A selection of Graham's poetry, The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems, 1974-1994

"I try," she writes, "in my acts of composition, to experience subjectivity and objectivity at their most frayed and fruitful and morally freighted juncture . . .
