Vanessa Adriana Penelope Pelizzon[1] (born 1967) is an American poet and academic.[2]

Life[]

Pelizzon graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, summa cum laude; the University of California, Irvine; and the University of Missouri in 1998.

She has taught at University of California, Irvine, University of Missouri, Washington and Jefferson College, and University of Connecticut.[3][4]

Her work has appeared in Poetry,[5] Hudson Review, 32 Poems, 5 Fingers Review,[6] The Kenyon Review,[7] Field, New England Review, Missouri Review,[8] ZYZZYVA,[9] Worchester Review,[10] and Fourth Genre.

She is married to Anthony Deaton, a Political Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, Syria.[11]

Writing[]

Chicago Review: "Penelope Pelizzon's first book of poems – winner of the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize – sticks closely to the narrative of nostalgia and return she sets up in the first of four sections of the collection. The poems are intentionally domesticated in the way people become in pictures, and she uses photographic memory to resonant effect. The book is dedicated to her family and to the memory of her father, which seems appropriate, as the first two sections deal with family history and photographs, following an emigrating family through a lens made murky by the past."[12]

Recognition[]

Her poems have received the Amy Lowell Travelling Poetry Scholarship and a Discovery/The Nation Award, while her prose has twice been listed among the year’s “notable essays” in the Best American Essays series. Whose Flesh is Flame, Whose Bone is Time was a finalist for the Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize.[2]
