Elegies for Michael Gizzi

Poetry. Art. In the afterword to this collection, William Corbett writes that Michael Gizzi (1949-2010) "was one of those generous souls who served poets and poetry," and these sixteen poems celebrate both his friend and friendship. Corbett recalls the people, places, and events that make up a well-lived life, and the four peculiar and lovely drawings by Natalia Afentoulidou are the perfect companion to these poems, ensuring the feeling of a celebration—never a dirge.
