Cover Story: The turn—a significant shift in rhetorical and/or dramatic trajectory—is a considerably under-realized element of poetry. This certainly is true with regard to the poetry of Jorie Graham: though many of Graham’s statements of poetics acknowledge the centrality of the turn, no critic has yet followed up on this invitation to explore Graham’s poems in terms of their relationship to the turn, until now. In “Metamorphosis: Jorie Graham’s Transformative Turns,” Michael Theune attends closely to Graham’s turning. Doing so, he uncovers instances of uniquely inventive turns, both in the context of the poet’s oeuvre and in poetry, more broadly. Ultimately, Theune reveals that more fully realizing the turn can offer a strong method for making surprising, critical discoveries. View this paper
