Peter Gizzi’s poetry has always met and realigned me in the places and states I feel most inconsolable, and his newest book, Fierce Elegy, is flamelike and precise in its energy. A rhapsodic and beautiful talker, Peter Gizzi the person is as inspiring and invigorating as his work—he gives me life, as the kids say. I caught up with him last month.
