Periplum
"Periplum reveals and shatters an unspeakably fragile world,. . . emerging with a new knowing, a knowing that matters, as in matters of life and death."--St Mark's Poetry Project Newsletter "The poems of Periplum have a philosophical Iyricism which invites the reader to participate in a world that falls between (and in some cases immolates) the poles of ego and language.... The beautiful fragile balance achieved here is simply amazing."--TO Magazine "Periplum's journey is a wandering on the outside. It is a yearning for place, even if the times demand that this must necessarily be on the outside.... The poetry of Periplum remarkably traces its own outline, revealing, as it goes, the various possibilities of contemporary poetry."--The Denver Quarterly "A careful and considered interweaving of discourses."--The Washington Review "Peter Gizzi's Periplum arises out of the same tradition as Frank O'Hara's: suffused in irony, creating odd juxtapositions, alternatingly enigmatic and direct."--Poetry Flash |
