Join us at 11am on Thursday, November 21st at Bennington College for an appreciation and meditation on Emily Dickinson, featuring Peter Gizzi.
Peter Gizzi is the author of many collections of poetry, including Now It’s Dark (2020), Archeophonics (2016), a finalist for the National Book Award, Threshold Songs (2011), and In Defense of Nothing: Selected Poems, 1987–2011 (2014), a finalist for the LA Times Book Award. He has also published several limited-edition chapbooks, folios, and artist books. Marjorie Perloff has called him “a master of the mot juste and of sound structure;” Robert Creeley, “one of the most exceptional poets of his generation.” Adrienne Rich has said “his disturbing lyricism is like no other;” and John Ashbery thought him “the most exciting new poet to come along in quite a while.” He lives in Holyoke, MA.
This event is free and open to the public.
