Summary: P GIZZA is in the house
Comment: This is the best book since Peter Gizzi invented books. I, The Blaze knits an isthmus in this, his second full length collection. Blip, blip P GIZZA is in the house. This book is so good I almost peed my pants when I read it. I went right down pawn shop & sold all my UZIs to buy a typewriter. No joke, yo. I wish Peter Gizzi were my uncle.

Summary: A wonderfully inventive exploration of "the heart of poetry"
Comment: In ARTIFICIAL HEART, Peter Gizzi, one of the most exuberantly talented poets of his generation, a poet drunk with his love of words, combines a rigorous interrogation of the act of utterance with a determination to save and renew the tropes of chivalry, to rescue both the individual beloved and the world as object of devotion. "When goodbye is the operative word/forgiveness is either easy or impossible," Gizzi writes, and it's his goal to transform that easy impossibility into the impossibly easy. "Once upon a once there was a once/and that once evaporated into air": in ARTIFICIAL HEART, Peter Gizzi conjures up that never-to-return "once" and permits us to reside there (in air) for an impossible, beautiful moment.
