Identity, vision, style

This article appraises the book "The Errancy," by Jorie Graham. Jorie Graham stands among a small group of poets whose styles are so personal that the poems seem to have no author at all. They exist as self-made things. Each of her books has interrogated the one preceding it, and The Errancy feels like a culmination. It is her most challenging, most rewarding book. Graham has not simply forged a style; she is exploring the very notion of what it means for a poet to have a style-an exterior mark of an inner vision.
