Peter Gizzis powerful new collection fuses documentary truth with imaginativeforce. The Outernationale locates us just off the grid in an emotional andspiritual frontier where reverie outrage history and vision merge. Thinkingand feeling become one in the urgent music of Gizzis poems. Saturated withluminous detail these original poems possess even in their sorrowing momentsa dizzying freedom. This is both a poetry of conscience and the embodiment of agenuinely poetic consciousness. Objects images and their histories are caughthere in their halflife their profoundly human afterlife. Gizzi has written abrilliant followup to Some Values of Landscape and Weather a book hailed byRobert Creeley as a breakthrough book in every way for reader for writerand for the art. «
