    Peter Gizzi¿s powerful new collection reckons with the transformative power of elegy, through poems of lament and loveIn March 2021, Peter Gizzi was diagnosed with a very rare blood disease. This book is what followed: composed slowly and painstakingly, though for Gizzi with unprecedented speed; written with an eye as much to his own impending mortality as to a decade of losses of friends and family, yet suffused, beautifully, with music and light.The book¿s broad subject is elegy, which Gizzi calls `a mode that can transform a broken heart in a fierce world into a fierce heart in a broken world.¿ Here, ferocity is reimagined as vulnerability, bravery and discovery, a braiding of emotional and otherworldly depth. Joy and sorrow make a complex ecosystem. And then, as we read, it is as if we have left our bodies, are looking down on them from above, and find ¿ as Rae Armantrout has put it in an appreciation of this book ¿ that `everything is fine, better than fine.¿ In their quest for a lyric reality, these poems remind us that elegy is lament, but also ¿ as it has been for centuries ¿ a work of openness, and a work of love.`Gizzi¿s best poems exist on a different plane, as if he has achieved and is writing from a transcendent vantage most of us only strive for¿ He identifies the thing we're all searching for in voices, in poems, in language, in songs; why we read and why we listen¿ The New Yorker

    The poems in this brilliant follow-up to the National Book Award finalist Archeophonics, are concerned with grieving, with poetry and death, with beauty and sadness, with light. 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.
