‘I am awestruck, dumbfounded … a masterwork’ Ocean Vuong
''Transcendent ... He identifies the thing we''re all searching for'' The New Yorker

In Fierce Elegy, Peter Gizzi contends with a decade of grief, and learns to transform a broken heart into new strengthThese are poems of loss; of love; of the strangeness of being a self amid the fury of the world; and of our ongoing closeness with the dead. They are soaring yet grounded, vulnerable and brave. Ears attuned, grip assured. Mind free.
