Jorie Graham — Killing Spree: Poems - with Jamie Raskin — at Conn Ave

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Jorie Graham presents *Killing Spree: Poems*, a collection that confronts the ecological, political, and technological forces reshaping daily life.

She lives in Massachusetts and is Boylston Chair Emerita at Harvard University.
