Description
Offering a comprehensive survey of poetry and poetics at the intersection of gender and sexuality for the very first time, this handbook places queer and feminist poetry and poetics in dialogue with a range of critical frameworks emerging from queer theory, trans theory, critical race studies, decolonial and Indigenous studies, new materialism, ecocriticism, posthumanism, and translation studies.
Seeking a range of perspectives from different geographical, linguistic, and (trans)national contexts, the book is organised in five interconnected clusters, each of which foregrounds a particular aspect of poetic practice as it relates to genders and sexualities: Bodies and Sexualities, Borders, Contact Zones and Diasporas, Indigenous Poetics and Decolonizing the Archive, Histories and Temporalities of Sex and Gender, and Media and Material Cultures.
Mapping the ways in which poetics shapes theoretical dialogues as well as the way poetics is, in turn, shaped by these dialogues, this book builds on earlier scholarship on feminist poetics and on more recent work on queer dimensions of canonical modernist poetics. It also pushes the field forward by thinking about gender and sexuality through a wide range of emerging theoretical and political contexts, and by interrogating poetic genealogies and proposing new forms of engagement at the nexus of poetics, gender, and sexuality.
