The Outernationale, Paperback / softback Book

The Outernationale Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

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."
