In Trauma in 20th Century Multicultural American Poetry, Jamie D.
Barker argues that by using literary trauma theory in conjunction
with a reader response approach, readers can gain a better
understanding of how poetry can work towards building community and
encouraging empowerment over oppression by establishing collectives
of people who may share similar stories and experiences connected
to trauma. Rather than demonstrating how the poetry may fail or
trying to establish what traumatic events the speaker (or poet, in
some studies) may have encountered and the significance thereof,
this study focuses on how the reader may find community with the
ideas represented within the poem. The poetry of various
ethnicities are examined, including African American poets Amiri
Baraka and Lucille Clifton, Native American poets Robin Coffee,
Linda Hogan, and Peter Blue Cloud, as well as Japanese American
poets Mitsuye Yamada, Keiho Soga, and Lawson Fusao Inada. Although
many of these poets have had their poems examined in the past, none
have been explored through this type of approach. Furthermore, very
few studies have expanded upon the ideas of literary trauma theory
by using reader response, and no writings have examined the idea of
ambivalence in poetry as this study does.
