Summary: Jorie Graham claims Clover's poetry as "a poetic manifesto--as well as a prayer-book--for the millennial generation." Winner of the 1996 Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, the poetry collection says more about the state of art in American poetry than it illuminates its subject matter which deftly jumps from referencing death camps to Rodney King. The language is beautiful, delirious, a little hallucinatory, and so, finally, in love with itself that it fails to touch any one of its subjects deeply. Yes, profoundly postmodern, a virtual world of accidental information with very little understanding of knowledge's depths.
