Highlights From the Press
We are
pleased to announce that Peter Gizzi's Threshold
Songs was selected as one of the "Best Books of
2011" by Times Literary Supplement.
"Gizzi’s fifth collection, is his most profoundly rueful and wildly
humoured work to date. This is a wintry ‘un
gathering’ of poems, sung in the name of ‘Tradition & The Indivisible
Talent’ - a company whose ghosts include Basil Bunting, W.S. Graham and the
late R.F. Langley.
-TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, BOOK OF THE YEAR
(Pictured
above are My Vocabulary Did This To Me: The Collected Poetry of Jack Spicer and
The House That Jack Built: The Collected Lectures of Jack Spicer, both edited by Peter Gizzi, as well as Gizzi's
original works, The Outernationale and the newly released volume, Threshold Songs.)
