Elisa Gabbert is an American poet and essayist. She is the author of five books, including two essay collections: The Word Pretty (2018) and The Unreality of Memory (2020), which engages the history of catastrophes to consider how people perceive themselves. She has also written two poetry collections, The French Exit (2011) and L'Heure Bleue, or the Judy Poems (2016); the latter imagines the perspective of Judy, one of the characters in Wallace Shawn’s play The Designated Mourner. Finally, Gabbert’s book The Self Unstable (2013) is a hybrid collection. In The New Yorker’s year-end review, Teju Cole named The Self Unstable one of the best books of 2013.
