Peter Gizzi with Ocean Vuong | A Rain Taxi Event

Rain Taxi is proud to present an installment in our 2021 Virtual Event Series: In celebration of Peter Gizzi’s new collection of poems, Now It’s Dark (Wesleyan University Press), Ocean Vuong conversed with Gizzi about poetry and death, beauty and sadness, grieving and light-and ultimately the elusive but very real edge of hope that can be found. Join us as two amazing practitioners of the lyric dive into the depths of what it means to be human at this precarious moment.

"What was the other part of that question?" and then Ocean says "no Idea." LoL such a good conversation. More people need to see this.

Peter Gizzi is the undisputed heir to John Ashbery's throne - everything he writes is an Ars Poetica!

I have just discovered Ocean and Peter- and this site. I am inspired to keep on rebelling- beautifully. How do we save 🇺🇦- and all of us?
