## Customer Reviews

    Excellent
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019*

Graham's hallmarks are here: complexity, stream-of-consciousness, and philosophical rumination.  The inhuman and death become focal points--which makes some sense given that Graham was recovering from a cancer diagnosis at the time it was written. The variety of speakers can be dizzying here: Graham uses bots, a holy shroud, ocean floor, to a medium, and even corpses as the source of the narrative voice.  Thematically,  Graham pairs mortality with the speed of information and the dizzying way life can rush past even the most observant.  In this speed, Graham encourages us to let go of narrativity: "She will finish her business and let go of the stories. The stories are an/ impediment."  While some of Graham's use of alternating long lines paired with shorter evocative dropped lines, here Graham lets the poems unfold often into quite long lines and poems.

    Beautiful Read
  

*by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020*

Jorie Graham in her latest collection of poems,” Fast”, does a beautiful job at writing with a "stream of conciseness". The title” Fast” at first gives the reader the normal reaction to that word. We think about speed right away. And although her literary techniques do speed up her poems, not everything is about fast motion. She recreates a world with nature, words, her dad, and robots in her collection. For example, she makes us aware of passing of her beloved father and how the process was grieving him. How robots are designed with all of this technology and are less human than the rest of us. This collection does a great job at making you think about the natural and unnatural.
