Process, as well, is an important word Drawing from past traditions of minimalism and Language Poetry, Gizzi takes the unfamiliar to open readers to new ways of looking at the world.

Process, as well, is an important word to remember while reading this poet's work, mainly because his poems refrain from solid reality into a sort of processional quality that advents the sacred. I highly recommend this book to poets who are looking for something beyond the quotidian imagery many poets continue to utilize.

Abstract, beautifully lyrical reflections on the wonderment in the everyday and on the borders we cross over: Gizzi poses questions with answers that can often only be siphoned through experience. He asks readers to step back and observe the world surrounding them, capturing specific moments too easily overlooked. There's a certain alchemy coursing it's way through these poems. I am glad I purchased this book because I am sure I will return to it often.

Dec 25, Michael rated it it was amazing. Apr 02, Laura rated it it was amazing Shelves: Jun 28, Momo rated it really liked it. Sometimes these poems leave me suspended or baffled, not always able to follow the leaps leapt or to find grounding in the spaces opened between words, lines, and thoughts, but I enjoy Peter Gizzi's poems very much nonetheless.

I admire this mind working, puzzling, figuring out, or simply being certain in its uncertainty. And the closing poem, "Modern Adventures at Sea," knocks me out. Oct 29, Husayn rated it it was amazing. Obsessed with negative space in a brilliant way. Feb 02, Ade Olakiitan rated it it was ok. I suppose there is a thing as growing with the writer that steeps you in his style. I probably missed it as this the first Peter Gizzi book I read upon recommendation.

While I don't look out for astounding magic on every page, nothing stuck; and that is what I look out for in poetry: Maybe try out his other books? Again, possibly, I just wasn't prepared.

Review quote "Gizzi's fifth collection, is his most profoundly rueful and wildly humoured work to date. Graham and the late R.

See a Problem?

This argument is at the heart of much contemporary poetry, but for Gizzi it also represents an interior struggle between the need to disclose emotion with words and the need to hide it behind words. The interplay between these two ideas has never been stronger than in his new collection"--Craig Morgan Teicher, Bookforum..
