serenaac's review against another edition

Place: New Poems by Jorie Graham, who is a Pulitzer Prize winner (1996), is a collection of poems in five parts that is about not just physical places, but also the place points in our pasts and the places in our soul that can define who we are. Her poetry is clean, clipped, and infused with nature and human perception, espousing the benefits and limitations of humanity.
In part one, the narration talks of places in the moment and in the past and how they change over time based on the perception of the future self. There is a mother and child, an unspoiled relationship and unspoiled being hovering on the “railing” and in the moment. Bask in today, the feeling and the being — each poem seems to say.

This was okay. I’m very rarely a fan of American poetry, and though I’ve expanded my interests a little while working at Alice James Books, it’s still hard for me to get into, and this was no exception. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t read it again, and there was only about one poem that I came away really thinking about.

It made me feel AND it made me think. Do you ever feel like you’re reading something by someone who is. Just so much smarter than you?
