Description

To 2040 by Jorie Graham Visionary new poems from Jorie Graham explore an apocalyptic world where the boundaries between fact and fiction blur. In sparse lines, she reveals a future where rain must be translated, silence sings louder than speech, and wired birds parrot recordings of their extinct ancestors. Through her unique lens, Graham exposes a potentially inevitable future, sirens sounding among industrial ruins. With cinematic precision, she pans from overhead views of reshaped shorelines to close-ups of a burrowing worm, inviting the reader to linger and listen to the soil breathe. This powerful collection is a meditation on mortality, memory, and the human condition. Inhale. Are you still there / the sun says to me. The title poem asks what was your message, what were you meant to pass on? A thought-provoking and haunting work that will leave you on edge.
