A new collection of poems from one of America's most vital and
imaginative poets
The poems in this brilliant follow-up to the National Book Award
finalist Archeophonics, are concerned with grieving, with poetry and
death, with beauty and sadness, with light. As Ben Lerner has written,
"Gizzi's poetry is an example of how a poet's total tonal attention can
disclose new orders of sensation and meaning. His beautiful lines are
full of deft archival allusion." With litany, elegy, and prose, Gizzi
continues his pursuit toward a lyric of reality. Saturated with luminous
detail, these original poems possess, even in their sorrowing moments, a
dizzying freedom.
