Periplum And Other Poems 1987-1992

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. 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. John Ashbery hailed Gizzi as "the most exciting poet to come along in quite a while."Gizzi, Peter is the author of 'Periplum And Other Poems 1987-1992', published 2004 under ISBN 9781844710737 and ISBN 1844710734.
