Description
In 1995 Carcanet published "The Exact Change Yearbook" edited by Carcanet poet Michael Palmer and by Peter Gizzi, then at the beginning of his career. The issue featured writing by Gertrude Stein, Barbara Guest, Jack Spicer (whose work Gizzi has edited), J. H. Prynne, Clark Coolidge and other avant garde writers; it also featured portfolios of new writing from China, the Caribbean and the UK, and a CD of readings by Ashbery, Brathwaite, Berrigan. "Exact Change" gives an indication of the breadth of poetic interests that informs Gizzi's poetry – its scope and scale. He is a prolific writer,and thirty years of his work are here, in Sky Burial, essentialised for a new, and reconfigured for his long-term, readership. The book includes previously uncollected work.Gizzi has twice received the Judith E. Wilson Visiting Fellowshipin Poetry at the University of Cambridge. "Archeophonics" (2016) was afinalist for the National Book Award.
