Peter Gizzi's powerful new collection fuses documentary truth with imaginative force. The Outernationale locates us "just off the grid," in an emotional and spiritual frontier, where reverie, outrage, history, and vision merge. Thinking and feeling become one in the urgent music of Gizzi's poems. Saturated with luminous detail, these original poems possess, even in their sorrowing moments, a dizzying freedom. This is both a poetry of conscience and the embodiment of a genuinely poetic consciousness. Objects, images, and their histories are caught here in their half-life, their profoundly human after-life. Gizzi has written a brilliant follow-up to Some Values of Landscape and Weather, a book hailed by Robert Creeley as "a breakthrough book in every way: for reader, for writer, and for the art."

"THE OUTERNATIONALE locates us 'just off the grid,' in an emotional and spiritual frontier, where reverie, outrage, history, and vision merge. Thinking and feeling become one in the urgent music of Peter Guzzi's poems. Saturated with luminous detail, these original poems possess, even in their sorrowing moments, a dizzying freedom. Objects, images, and their histories are caught here in their half-life, their profoundly human half-life. Gizzi has written a brilliant follow-up to Some Values of Landscape and Weather, a work hailed by Robert Creeley as 'a breakthrough book in every way: for reader, for writer, and for the art.'" [jacket copy] "THE OUTERNATIONALE is a remarkable book: in poem after poem, nerve flares into shimmering gauze."--Boston Review. "Peter Gizzi's disturbing lyricism is like no other--the innermost whir of the daily curtain rising on outer catastrophe. His phrasing can wrench the heart, his eye refracts ordinary light into acute images. In THE OUTERNATIONALE we are 'listening to a life / unlived any other way'--unmistakably, as poetry."--Adrienne Rich. "Gizzi has been a rising star in contemporary poetry for more than a decade. With his ambitious fourth collection, he cements his status as a poet-to-watch and a bridge between challenging experimental writing, 'language' poetry and accessible mainstream verse. Extending the associative, disjunctive and at times flippant aesthetics of New York School poets like Ashbery, O'Hara and Berrigan, and adding an emotional clarity all his own, Gizzi writes movingly about love ("It is so easy now to see gravity at work in your face / Easy to understand time, that dark process, / To accept it as a beautiful process, your face"), contemporary ennui ("We went to the store and why not") and the decline of America ("If our loves are anointed with missiles / Apache fire, Tomahawks / did we follow the tablets the pilgrims suggested") as well as its subtle wonders ("everywhere in the day lost in sun"). Most impressive are a series of long pieces, including two poems titled "The Outernationale" and the extraordinary "A Panic That Can Still Come Upon Me." In poems, often cast in couplets, that are by turns mournful, exalting and humorous, Gizzi evokes a world perceived from too many angles to merely make straight sense."--Publishers Weekly. "Gizzi's gift for shorthand sublimity could defib Rilke."--Jordan Davis, Village Voice. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright jacket w/atypical-imaged Quemadura photograph. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB2863
