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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePETER GIZZI is the author of eight collections of poetry including \u003ci\u003eArcheophonics\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThreshold Songs\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIn Defense of Nothing: Selected Poems, 1987-2011\u003c\/i\u003e.
