Don't Be Scared
From the author: "Don't Be Scared is a poem/essay generated from my experiences in the classroom. It attempts to implicate the classroom itself in a longer narrative of modernity and democratic struggle and in that sense it deploys my academic 'upbringing' for political ends." -- MAGDALENA ZURAWSKI is the author of The Tiniest Muzzle Sings Songs of Freedom (Wave Books 2019), the novel The Bruise, which won the Ronald Sukenick Award from FC2 in 2008 and a LAMBDA literary award in 2009, and the collection of poems Companion Animal, which was published by Litmus Press in 2015 and won a Norma Faber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America. She attended Brown University where she studied with poets Rosmarie and Keith Waldrop, C.D.Wright, and Peter Gizzi. She has lived in Berlin, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Durham, NC where she ran the Minor American Reading Series. She is currently Assistant Professor of English and Creative Writing at the University of Georgia.

Often, Common, Some, and Free
Poems considering ever-present transformations and resisting destruction. This is a book about transformation. Moving across varied formal and aesthetic terrains, these poems take on the subject of change, considering the construction and demolition of buildings, roaming between cities, and drawing together an image of a world in flux. The speaker is in movement--walking, flying, swimming, and taking the train, while also constantly twisting in his sentences, turning into different versions of himself, and braiding his voice with others. These poems take on subjects that encompass creation and loss from Robert Moses's career transforming the cityscape of New York to the robbery of works from Boston's Gardner Museum. But, ultimately, these poems aim to resist destruction, to focus on the particular, and to hold still their world and their ever-shifting speaker.
Collected Poems
Poetry. Carefully edited by his friends, Clark Coolidge and Craig Watson, the COLLECTED POEMS includes all of Michael Gizzi's books, and more than 100 pages of unpublished poetry covering the years 1975-2010, with a useful, informative introduction by William Corbett. "Through the mad clutter of everyday life the poet's voice speeds along and isn't going to let you off the hook till the end of the poem, if then. Razor sharp but also rich and generously compelling, Michael Gizzi's poetry lambastes as it celebrates, bringing us finally to a place of poignant irresolution where 'This music that for the moment/Takes on the work of youth' is 'Held for life in fluttering devastation.'" John Ashbery "It'd harsh my mellow if people didn't glom the candlewastings of Michael Gizzi who bought the farm maybe because no one knew how swift as Galatea you had to be to get a cup of jo while overhearing this place's language, ave atque vale gravitas, Michaelmas Michael and gracias."
