Summary

'Women's experimental poetry in Britain 1970-2010: Body, time & locale' presents the history and current state of a critically neglected, significant body of contemporary writing and places it within the wider social and political contexts of the period. Ranging from Geraldine Monk's ventriloquising of the Pendle witches to Denise Riley's fiercely self-critical lyric poems, from the multi-media experiements of Maggie O'Sullivan to the globally aware, politicised sequences of Andrea Brady and Jennifer Cooke, David Kennedy and Christine Kennedy theorise women's experimental poetries in terms of Julia Kristeva's idea of 'women time' and in terms of the female poetic voice constantly negotiating with dominant systems of representation. They also offer a much-needed re-theorising of the value of avant-garde practices. -- Publisher's description
