Excerpt from San Sepolcro In this blue light I can take you there, snow having made me a world of bone seen through to. This is my house, my section of Etruscan wall, my neighbor's lemontrees, and, just below the lower church, the airplane factory. Jorie Graham at the Academy of American Poets Robert N. Casper on Graham, in Ploughshares Critics have described these poems as 'difficult'; in response, Graham asserts that they are imagistically clear but that the form of the poems—the throughway, if you will—invites the reader to perceive—or even 'read'—in a new way.

POETRY IN MOTION APRIL 12, 1996 TRANSCRIPT The coveted Pulitzer Prize for poetry went to author Jorie Graham for her book The Dream of the Unified Field . Jim Lehrer spoke to her from Iowa City, Iowa. Click here for the RealAudio version of this discussion JIM LEHRER: Ms. Graham, welcome, and congratulations! JORIE GRAHAM, Poet: (Iowa City) Thank you. JIM LEHRER: How did poetry come into your life? JORIE GRAHAM: Well, actually, I was studying film at New York University and lost my way down a corridor one day, and I heard some words floating out of the doorway. Umm, they were, "I have heard the mermaid singing each to each, and I do not think that they will sing to me," and I thought, what is that? JIM LEHRER: Yeah. JORIE GRAHAM: And, umm, it turns out it was M. L. Rosenthal reading "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock" in his classroom, and I just sank into the back seat of that classroom and in some sense I think I've been sitting there ever since. JIM LEHRER: And you've been literally writing poetry ever since, right? JORIE GRAHAM: I have been. I had not written poetry up until that moment. I was planning to make film.

Next-in-Thread Next Message Jorie Graham, A Poetry Reading Review Forum: Post Reviews Here Date: 2000, Mar 16 From: Paula Sands insanityhelps@yahoo.com Jorie Graham, an American born and raised in Italy, has received several honors and serves in several literary capacities, which include being at the head of the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa and being a Boyleston Professor at Harvard. She was elected Chancelor of the Academy of American Poets, and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1996 for her book, "The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems 1974-1994". She has not mastered the art of coming to class prepared. Ms. Graham arrived at 4:15 for her 4:00 reading at Langley Hall at the California Institute of the Arts on March 1st. She appeared to have come directly from the airport, without having had time to refresh her appearance or to rest. She gratefully accepted a glass of water, from which she drank thirstily as a representative from Cal Arts' Critical Studies Department gave a 10-minute introduction. When Ms. Graham stood up to the microphone in her black blazer/jacket, black tight pants and black knit shirt I wondered whether her poetry would be of the beat variety. I was to be reassured. (Oddly enough, there was a higher number of people wearing black clothing at the front of the room than at the back.) She certainly did not show all of her 49 years, even in her obvious weariness, but her quiet voice was breathless and hard to hear as she acknowledged her introduction and acquainted herself with her audience. Her fatigue became even more evident as she spoke with interest of the similarities between the old-style method of editing film and her writing, putting in the right scenes and taking out the wrong ones. At one point she referred to two lines of poetry as "two rows", and at another she referred to diagonal lines, while drawing them in the air, as "up and down and sideways horizontal lines".

She was born in Rome in 195o and grew up there. Her father, Bill Pepper, was the head of the Newsweek Rome bureau; her mother, Beverly, is a sculptor famous for her totemic structures. As a child, Jorie hid inside old churches; she helped out on Antonioni films as a teenager. She went to French schools, and to the Sorbonne, but was expelled for taking part in student protests. So she transferred to New York University, where she studied film with Haig Manoogian and Martin Scorsese. It is there that Graham's attentions ...

Award-Winning Poet Jorie Graham to Read at Smith The Poetry Center at Smith College will host poet Jorie Graham at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14, in Wright Hall Auditorium. Widely recognized as a leading voice in American poetry today, Graham is celebrated for her astonishing philosophical tapestries and intensely individual style. "She provides," writes The Nation, "all the satisfactions we expect from poetry aural beauty, emotional weight along with an intellectual rigor we don't expect." Born in New York City, raised in Italy and educated in French schools, Graham studied philosophy at the Sorbonne and filmmaking at New York University before turning to poetry in her mid-20s. Since 1983 she has been on the permanent faculty of the renowned Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa and recently succeeded Seamus Heaney as Boylston Professor at Harvard University (the first woman to hold this position). Graham's numerous collections of poetry include "The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems"

Underneath (9) Spring Up, up you go, you must be introduced. You must learn belonging to (no-one) Drenched in the white veil (day) The circle of minutes pushed gleaming onto your finger. Gaps pocking the brightness where you try to see in. 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 in the course of the poetry drought you cast about desperately for something to read, why not let your defenses down and try Jorie Graham? I know she wears her neuroses on her sleeve, solicits her audience's sympathy, and holes up in Iowa City far more than is healthy for any grown woman (one wonders if this book was in fact written there), and she's probably got lots of fans who empathize with her so much they'd like to curl up into foetal balls and contract till they disappear. On the other hand, everybody needs a little vicarious pain. Where would the Beats have been without Ginsberg's angst? Or the Language poets without Bruce Andrews' insomnia? Right. So what makes Graham any different? That she was a spoiled rich kid, makes it with James Galvin (woo woo) and writes wimp? Well, that's not enough.

This Old Poem #12: Jorie Graham’s Of The Ever-Changing Agitation In The Air 1 would be hard-pressed to find a more stereotypical example of current PC Elitist Academia than poetessaster (poet-disaster?) Jorie Graham. She’s white, she’s female, she’s middle-aged, she has no real writing talent, yet her poetry is the sine qua non of the workshop poem- it does not offend nor inspire, it just sort of lays there. Her poems generally deal with little things- she’ll take on personae, flutter about in wind. Is she a terrible poet? No. Is she a good poet? Not even remotely. She is a total lightweight. A feather that cannot land on any –ism’s earth. Yet the New Yorker magazine- a few years back- called her ‘ the closest thing American poetry has to a rock star .’ Why? No one really knows. Does she get the usual sizable crowds that a published poet gets? Yes. But nowhere near the response a Maya Angelou gets, or an Allen Ginsberg got. Neither her poetry nor personality lend themselves to something bordering on the electric A few years back a book of her poems came out- it was called The Errancy . Naturally, the cover had a painting on it, 1 by Rene Magritte-

LOOKING BACK AT THE ONE WHO LOOKS: JORIE GRAHAM'S ORPHEUS SEQUENCE Robin A. Morris For T.S. Eliot, the modernist use of myth was a way to structure the "futility and anarchy which is contemporary history" (Eliot, 1923, 177). H.D., on the other hand, used myth to disrupt history still farther. When she published her poem "Eurydice" in 1917, H.D. allowed Eurydice, whose agony of silent shuttling between earth and the underworld had for millennia been treated as incidental to Orpheus’ narrative of loss, to speak out in anger. H.D. imparted subjectivity to the object: the female muse who had previously been seen as existing only to evoke song from the male subject. This slight shift proved to have seismological effects: for later poets like Jorie Graham, the position of subject and object could no longer appear enduringly fixed. Eighty years after H.D.’s "Eurydice," Jorie Graham takes up the mythologized relationship between the figure of the singer and the object of his song in a number of poems included in her 1987 collection, The End of Beauty . In "Self Portrait As Both Parties," the first poem in the book in which Orpheus appears, he is "trying to fish a drowned woman from a river"; in the poem immediately following, "Orpheus and Eurydice," he’s walking up from the underworld, trying not to look back. I include the next poem, "Expulsion," in this study, though Orpheus is not directly mentioned, because I see it as a modern day version of the Orpheus and Eurydice encounter. The photographer in "Expulsion" speaks the same words to his subject that hissed through Orpheus’ consciousness in the previous poem — "give me that look." This exchange of looks is central for both Orpheus and the photographer and I will be exploring the significance of this encounter. Then, skipping one poem in

Swarm Poems by Jorie Graham (ISBN 0880016957) With Swarm, her first new collection since The Errancy, Pulitzer Prize-winner Jorie Graham has given us a book-length sequence of poems stunning in its sober encounter with destiny, eros, and law. The narrator, at times almost vertigo-ridden by the problem of who is addressed-whom there still is to address-negotiates passionately with those powers human beings feel themselves to be "underneath": God, matter, law, custom, the force of love. To "swarm" is to leave an originating organism'a hive, a home country, a stable sense of one's body, a stable hierarchy of valuesin an attempt, by coming apart, to found a new form that will hold. The Roman Empire, its distillation in the Forum's remains, the Romantic imagination of that buried past ("underneath"), as well as the collapse of the erotic border between lovers' bodies, are persistent metaphors for the destabilization and reformation of the idea and sensation of personhood.

Vol. 2 No. 3, Fall 1997 (#7) The Errancy Jorie Graham Ecco Press ($22) by Eric Lorberer erhaps a summing up is in order: Jorie Graham's first two books, with their deftly spun yet tightly reined poems, introduced her as a poet of immense lyric capabilities. Her third book, The End of Beauty , exploded the very idea of lyric wide open, scattering it into myriad fragments that Graham meticulously tracked down over long-lined, cubistic poems that relentlessly questioned their own existence. Graham pursued this strategy further in her two subsequent volumes, which added to her explorations of mythological detritus a sustained examination of historical consciousness. Boldly facing down the ur-texts of western civilization, the latter of these books, Materialism , nearly collapsed under the weight of large remnants of philosophical and other writings that had been stitched to her own concerns. At this point, perhaps, a summing up was in order, and Graham's selected poems, The Dream of the Unified Field , gave the poetic establishment its least controversial shot at awarding her the Pulitzer Prize. As a whittled down history of her career to date, the book indeed deserves the accolade; it shows the development of a poet not content to write elegant verses, but one who would rather smash atoms together and attempt to describe the results.

John Ashbery Review from New Republic: "Graham's fierce sense of the philosophic universal may help remind American Poets that there is a dimension of the lyric that goes beyond the merely personal, the merely social." Helen Vendler Review: "Jorie Graham is a poet of staggering intelligence. 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."
