Periplum and other poems brings together Peter Gizzi's celebrated
and influential first book, out of print for nearly a decade, with
60 pages of early and uncollected work, including the long poem
"Music for Films." This new edition functions as a collected poems
of Gizzi's work from 1987 to 1992. John Ashbery hailed Gizzi as
"the most exciting poet to come along in quite a while." The
vibrancy and immediacy of Gizzi's poems constitute 21st-century
lyricism at its best, a richly complex music engaged with the
crucial questions of and around contemporary culture. Michael
Boughn wrote in the Poetry Project Newsletter that "Periplum
reveals and shatters an unspeakably fragile world ... emerging with
a new knowing, a knowing that matters, as in matters of life and
death." His poems achieve a delicate balance of emotional and
intellectual richness and the sense of poetry itself as a primary
ground of human experience.
