The latest collection of poetry from Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie
Graham
"A fascinating mosaic that explores what it means to live and die at a
time when technology is redefining our existence......moving...[an]
important book." (The Washington Post)
In her first new collection in five years--her most exhilarating,
personal, and formally inventive to date--Jorie Graham explores the
limits of the human and the uneasy seductions of the post-human.
Conjuring an array of voices and perspectives--from bots to the holy
shroud, to the ocean floor, to a medium transmitting from beyond the
grave--these poems give urgent form to the ever-increasing pace of
transformation of our planet and ourselves. As it navigates cyber life;
3D 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.
