Poetry and Work offers a timely and much-needed re-examination of
the relationship between work and poetry. The volume questions how
lines are drawn between work and non-work, how social, political,
and technological upheavals transform the nature of work, how work
appears or hides within poetry, and asks if poetry is work, or
play, or something else completely. The book interrogates whether
poetry and avant-garde and experimental writing can provide models
for work that is less alienated and more free. In this major new
collection, sixteen scholars and poets draw on a lively array of
theory and philosophy, archival research, fresh readings, and
personal reflection in order to consider work and poetry: the work
in poetry and the work of poetry. Individual chapters address
issues such as the many professions, occupations, and tasks of
poets beyond and around writing; poetry's special relationship with
'craft'; work's relationship with gender, class, race, disability,
and sexuality; how work gets recognised or rendered invisible in
aesthetic production and beyond; the work of poetry and the work of
political activism and organising; and the notion of poetry itself
as a space where work and play can blur, and where postwork
imaginaries can be nurtured and explored.
