My Terza Rima
Poetry. Michael Gizzi received his BA and MFA from Brown University where he studied with Keith Waldrop. In 1982 he moved to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. He has collaborated with Clark Collidge, Celia Coolidge, John Yau, and Bernadette Mayer who says of his work, Troubadour-trickster Gizzi is a poetry trouble maker and he's fortunate to have two golden z's in his name. Interlocking Gizzi is relentlessly learned about the American idiom and it's delphic and unobscurely elfin to perceive everything the way we think he does--Bernadette Mayer.

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Clark Coolidge and Craig Watson, the COLLECTED POEMS includes all of Michael Gizzi's books, and more than 100 pages of unpublished poetry covering the years 1975-2010, with a useful, informative introduction by William Corbett.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." Bernadette Mayer"
False Memory
Poetry. FALSE MEMORY is a major political poem, written through the events of the 1990s, representing the damaged world that we know in all its violence and inequality. Focusing on public language rather than private experience, FALSE MEMORY is a hilarious collage of all the specialized jargons and advertised slogans that situate us in the postmodern world.

The Fourth Amendment in Flux
When the Founders penned the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, it was not difficult to identify the “persons, houses, papers, and effects” they meant to protect; nor was it hard to understand what “unreasonable searches and seizures” were. The Fourth Amendment was intended to stop the use of general warrants and writs of assistance and applied primarily to protect the home. Flash forward to a time of digital devices, automobiles, the war on drugs, and a Supreme Court dominated by several decades of the jurisprudence of crime control, and the legal meaning of everything from “effects” to “seizures” has dramatically changed. Michael C. Gizzi and R. Craig Curtis make sense o...
No Both
In the hyperbolic vernacular of the barrrom confessional, Michael Gizzi delivers a full bag of urgent messages, their sources detached from the old, weird America of a not-so-distant past. Impossibly rich, these jam-packed audibles are springed-loaded to jack-knife off the page. No Both is word jazz, coiled, mortal and alive. Kit Robinson
My Symptoms
Chinese-American writer John Yau's short fiction collection is set in bleak neighborhoods of casual misunderstanding, habitual deception and oblique, transient encounters among strangers. At the heart of Yau's artistic inquiry is that precarious and unstable thing "identity"--and the ways that isolation and alienation threaten identity altogether. The Review of Contemporary Fiction said, "These are stories that recount the symptoms of many, if not most of us."

Form, Power, and Person in Robert Creeley’s Life and Work
By any measure—international reputation, influence upon fellow writers and later generations, number of books published, scholarly and critical attention—Robert Creeley (1926–2005) is a literary giant, an outstanding, irreplaceable poet. For many decades readers have remarked upon the almost harrowing emotional nakedness of Creeley’s writing. In the years since his death, it may be that the disappearance of the writer allows that nakedness to be observed more readily and without embarrassment. Written by the foremost critics of his poetry, Form, Power, and Person in Robert Creeley’s Life and Work is the first book to treat Creeley’s career as a whole. Masterfully edited by Stephe...
