"AGAIN THROUGH THE HAZE THE DOG AWAKENS ME." *

Jorie Graham, Fast: Poems (New York: Ecco/HarperCollins, 2017) (From the book jacket: "Jorie Graham explores the limits of the human and the uneasy seductions of the post-human. . . [T]hese poems give urgent form to the ever-increasing pace of transformation of our planet and ourselves. As it navigates cyber life; 3 printed 'life'; life after death; and biologically, chemically, and electronically modified life, Fast lights up the border of our new condition as individuals and as a species on the brink.").
