Workshop with T S Eliot Prize Winner 2024 Peter Gizzi co-hosted with Strathclyde University
“We will question the relationship between world and word and ask who is speaking in a poem. Do we speak or are we spoken? We will consider the role of mystery, presence, and intimacy in our writing.”
Peter Gizzi’s Book Fierce Elegy won the T S Eliot Prize in 2024.
His books include: Now It’s Dark, In Defense of Nothing, Sky Burial, Some Values of Landscape and Weather, Threshold Songs, The Outernationale, Artificial Heart and Archeophonics. He has also coedited, with Kevin Killian, My Vocabulary Did This to Me: The Collected Poetry of Jack Spicer and edited The House That Jack Built: The Collected Lectures of Jack Spicer
This event is co-hosted by University of Glasgow and Strathclyde University.
