Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick is best known as a cultural and literary
critic, as one of the primary forces behind the development of
queer and gay/lesbian studies, and as author of several influential
books: Tendencies, Epistemology of the Closet, and Between Men:
English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire. The publication of
Fat Art, Thin Art, Sedgwick’s first volume of poetry, opens up
another dimension of her continuing project of crossing and
re-crossing the electrified boundaries between theory, lyric, and
narrative. Embodying a decades-long adventure, the poems collected
here offer the most accessible and definitive formulations to
appear anywhere in Sedgwick’s writing on some characteristic
subjects and some new ones: passionate attachments within and
across genders; queer childhoods of many kinds; the performativity
of a long, unconventional marriage; depressiveness, hilarity, and
bliss; grave illness; despised and magnetic bodies and bodily
parts. In two long fictional poems, a rich narrative momentum
engages readers in the mysterious places—including Victorian
novels—where characters, sexualities, and fates are unmade and
made. Sedgwick’s poetry opens an unfamiliar, intimate, daring
space that steadily refigures not only what a critic may be, but
what a poem can do.
