[Wgcp-whc] Gizzi Friday

[Richard Deming]

Dear All,

We meet next Friday at 3-5  in rm 116 of the Whitney Humanities center  
to discuss the work of Peter Gizzi.  I'm sending along a brief poetics  
statement by Gizzi that appears in the extremely generative and useful  
anthology Lyric Postmodernisms edited by the late Reginald Shepherd  
and published by one of the great independent presses, Counterpath  
Press.  http://www.counterpathpress.org/aupgs/shepherd/shepherd.html

Counterpath is a great source for the kind of work that this group's  
discussion so often center around.  Lyric Postmodernisms collects  
poems and poetics statements by poets whose work engages the  
possibilities (and impossibilities) of lyric in the age of high irony.  
It is worth a look.


Cheers,
Richard Deming, Co-coordinator and Group Footnoter
