T.S. Eliot Prize 2024 Winner Peter Gizzi - Fierce Elegy

The legendary American poet, essayist, and 2024 T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry Winner Peter Gizzi visits the shop to share his powerful new collection, which reckons with the transformative power of elegy through poems of lament and love.

In Fierce Elegy, Peter Gizzi contends with a decade of grief, and learns to transform a broken heart into new strength. These 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.
