Archeophonics, defined as the archeology of lost sound, is one way of understanding the role and the task of poetry: to recover the buried sounds and shapes of languages in the tradition of the art, and the multitude of private connections that lie undisclosed in one's emotional memory. The book takes seriously the opening epigraph by the late great James Schuyler: \"poetry, like music, is not just song.\" It recognizes that the poem is not a decorative art object but a means of organizing the world, in the words of anthropologist Clifford Geertz, \"into transient examples of shaped behavior.\" \u003ci\u003eArcheophonics\u003c\/i\u003e is a series of discrete poems that are linked by repeated phrases and words, and its themes and nothing less than joy, outrage, loss, transhistorical thought, and day-to-day life. It is a private book of public and civic concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Gizzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819577723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819577726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.20w x 0.40d","brand":"Peter Gizzi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986731827455,"sku":"9780819577726","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79b62f18-53ce-41b6-a7d7-83688f611556.jpg?v=1683284870","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archeophonics-peter-gizzi-9780819577726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
