Summary

Peter Gizzi's new book, Threshold Songs, is his most personal collection to date. The voices in these poems perform at the thresholds encountered each day, where we negotiate the unfathomable proximities of knowing and not knowing, the gulf of seeing and feeling, and the uncanny relation of grief and joy. Both conceptual and haunted, these poems explore the asymmetry of the body's chemistry and its effects on expression and form. The poems in Threshold Songs tune us to the microtonal music of speaking and being spoken.
