Her husband is a poet, too. John Galvin, or something like that, I think, but I may be wrong. _The End of Beauty_ is a volume of poetry, with some fantastic stuff in it. 'The Veil' makes me cry every time I read it. Graham is supposed to follow in the footsteps of Wallace Stevens, but I've found none of his racism in her. She's written several volumes of poetry. I suggest to anyone to check her out! Thanks for asking, and for the info on Aquarius!
