About this product
Product Information
[To] The Last [Be] Human collects fourextraordinary poetry books-- Sea Change, Place, Fast, and Runaway --byPulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham. From the introduction by Robert Macfarlane: The earliest of the poems in this tetralogy were written at373 parts per million of atmospheric CO2, and the most recent at 414 parts permillion; that is to say, in the old calendar, 2002 and 2020 respectively. Thebody of work gathered here stands as an extraordinary lyric record of thoseeighteen calamitous years: a glittering, teeming Anthropocene journal, writtenfrom within the New Climatic Regime (as Bruno Latour names the present), rifewith hope and raw with loss, lush and sparse, hard to parse and hugely powerfulto experience ... Graham's poems are turned to face our planet's deep-timefuture, and their shadows are cast by the long light of the will-have-been. Butthey are made of more durable materials than granite and concrete, they arevery far from passive, and their tasks are of record as well as warning: topreserve what it has felt like to be a human in these accelerated years when'the future / takes shape / too quickly,' when we are entering 'a time / beyondbelief.' They know, these poems, and what they tell is precise to their form....Sometimes they are made of ragged, hurting, hurtling, and body-fleeinglanguage; other times they celebrate the sheer, shocking, heart-stopping giftof the given world, seeing light, tree, sea, skin, and star as a 'whirling robehumming with firstness,' there to 'greet you if you eye-up.' I know not to mistake the pleasures of this poetry forpresentist consolation; the situation has moved far beyond that: 'Wind would benice but / it's only us shaking.' ... To read these four twenty-first-centurybooks together in a single volume is to experience vastly complex patternsforming and reforming in mind, eye, and ear. These poems sing withinthemselves, between one another, and across collections, and the song thatjoins them all is uttered simply in the first lines of the last poem of thelast book: The earth said remember me. The earth said don't let go, said it one day when I was accidentally listening...

Praise for [To] The Last [Be] Human "Four of Graham's seminal works are collected and serve as a lyric testament to the poet's writing on climate change and loss, while also celebrating the beauty and gifts of the world."-- Publishers Weekly , Fall Announcements Top Ten Praise for Jorie Graham "Graham is one of our great poets. Herwords will long outlast all of this chatter." -- New York Times "Every poem, Graham suggests, is part netand part wind, its finely knotted phrases and lines straining to 'hold,' forlonger than an instant, the presence passing through them." -- The New Yorker "We will always need to read Jorie Graham,and to read her closely, if we want to understand the last forty years ofpoetry in America." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "Graham begins her fifth decade ofpublishing with a bravura performance that probes the present for what thefuture will bring." -- Publishers Weekly "Graham has long been breaking open thelyric voice, seeing how much of the vast, fractured, overwhelming present itcan contain. Often she explores a self that won't hold together but must stillbe held accountable--as a political entity, a citizen." -- Harper's Magazine "Pulitzer Prize winner Graham's poems arelike those of John Donne and e.e. cummings but on speed dial. Like Donne,Graham seeks to encounter the metaphysics of everything." -- LibraryJournal "Graham's poems act as the sonar devicesof contemporary western consciousness, probing the depths of human existentialexperience." -- The Guardian, "Graham is one of our great poets.

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
