Naming the Waves: Contemporary Lesbian Poetry

Christian McEwen

4.9/5 (16766 ratings)

Description:Love and desire, childhood and children, the value of sisterhood, self-identity and racism, day-to-day pleasures and sorrows, the overarching reality of lesbian oppression - and defiance of that oppression: these are the themes of this vibrant collection of contemporary lesbian poetry from both sides of the Atlantic. Here too is a naming and celebrating of the difference in the sense of recognising, giving form to what was always there. Naming the Waves includes more than 70 poets, both known and unknown: among them are Mary Dorcey, U.A. Fanthorpe, Irena Klepfisz, Audre Lorde, Suniti Namjoshi, Adrienne Rich, Sapphire, Marg Yeo, and many more. In poems that are wonderfully distinct in form and tone - folksongs, prose poems, sestinas - are many moods: from quietly joyful 'leaves and potatoes', from the electrifying fear in 'He Touched Me' to the angry confrontation in 'Some Things about the Politics of Size'. And behind the wit and feistiness, the tenderness and anger, lies work in which 'the clear-eyed child and the outraged adult start to merge', their poems all becoming part of the same endeavour, the telling of important truths.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
