Produktinformationen zu „Other Influences (ePub)“
A compelling collection of original essays on influence that restore a feminist avant-garde that includes women of color, queer, and trans women.
Other Influences frames a new literary history in which feminist, avant-garde, and poetry practices intersect, foregrounding critically neglected but artistically powerful lineages in twentieth- and twenty-first-century North American poetry. In this collection, Marcella Durand and Jennifer Firestone assemble original essays by a range of leading contemporary feminist avant-garde poets asked to consider their lineages, inspirations, and influences. Their reflections contain many surprises, with writers citing scientists, artists, and little-known feminist writers from other eras and traditions; for example, Tracie Morris discusses the Gee's Bend quilters, Carla Harryman writes about anti-war activism and nonviolent civil disobedience, and Cecilia Vicuña cites the Tao Te Ching.
Unlike other collections of "writers on writing," Other Influences demonstrates a complex feminist ethos of paying homage to forebears while at the same time resisting the parts of a history, along with previous concepts of "influence," that might be stale or limiting. Countering a masculinist model of "influence" à la Harold Bloom, Durand and Firestone illuminate the diverse, nonhierarchical ecosystems of feminist avant-garde poetry and re-envision "influence" through their own lens and on their own terms-aspiring to no less than the unmaking of a canon.
