Since the publication of her first collection, Hybrids of Plants and of Ghosts, MacArthur Fellow Jorie Graham has been widely viewed as one of the most original of American poets. At once deeply cerebral and profoundly emotional, spanning subjects ranging from mathematics to philosophy to painting, her poems enact and celebrate the very processes of thought. The author of nine collections of poems, including, most recently, Never, Graham has received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award, among many other honors. In 1997, she was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. After teaching for many years at the University of Iowa, she is currently the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University.
