Jorie Graham
 |
Jorie Graham, the daughter of a journalist and a sculptor, was born in 1950 and raised in Rome, Italy. As a teenager she helped out on the sets of Antonioni films, which inspired her interest in the medium of film. She went to French schools and to the Sorbonne, but was expelled for taking part in student protests. She transferred to New York University, where she studied film with Haig Manoogian and Martin Scorsese.
Her many other honors include a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship and grants from numerous foundations. She has taught at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop and is currently the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Her poetry collections include Hybrids of Plants and of Ghosts (1980), The End of Beauty (1987), Materialism (1993), The Errancy (1997), Swarm (2000), the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Dream of the Unified Field: Poems, 1974-1994 (1995), and her newest collection Overlord.
