<div class="review-single-body">Graham (<em>Fast</em>) begins her fifth 
decade of publishing with a bravura performance that probes the present 
for what the future will bring. In four sections of long-lined poems, 
many of which run two-to-four pages in length, moments that are seen, 
felt, and processed dazzle the reader. Graham sets the stage in the 
first line of the opening poem: “After the rain stops you can hear the 
rained-on.” The poem’s final image is both artificial and natural: 
“nothing to touch/ where the blinding white thins as the flash moves 
off/ what had been just the wide-flung yellow poppy.” Other poems 
include texting abbreviations (“u” and “yr”), and by the end, the 
reader’s world feels virtual. The second to last poem, “In the Nest,” 
has the speaker saying goodbye to “Mother”: “I tap/ again only to see 
your/ face erase itself//...An arrow points/ as I descend again/ into 
your room/ from the sensor// in your ceiling// watching u./ We think 
this is/ the past.” The book ends with a plea from the Earth to “Re-/ 
member me.” Through her signature urgent questioning, Graham makes plain
 the psychic and physical cost to humans of wrecking the Earth. <em>(Sept.)<br></em></div><div class="review-single-body"><em><br></em></div><div class="review-single-body"><em>STARRED REVIEW</em></div><div class="review-single-body"><em><br></em>
