This first critical book of essays on the poetry of Peter Gizzi
shows how his work extends the traditions of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century modernism while also reclaiming the living
presence of the "lyric" in its capacity to sing of the human
predicament. Gizzi is author of seven critically acclaimed books of
poetry, including most recently Threshold Songs and Archeophonics,
a finalist for the National Book Award in 2016. Lauded
contributors, including Ben Lerner, Michael Snediker, Marjorie
Perloff, and Charles Altieri, explore Gizzi's poetry for its
embodiment of an American tradition-extending the poetics of
Whitman, Dickinson, and Stevens, amongst others-while also
exhibiting a twenty-first-century sensibility, perpetuating a new
grammar and syntax to capture our place in the world today. Each
essayist, in turn, works through close-readings of some of the most
important poems of our times, enriching our understanding of a
poetry of the mind which never loses track of what it means to
feel.
