Andrea Brady Bücher

Exploring the metaphor of poetic constraint, this study examines how the experiences of enslaved and imprisoned poets reshape our understanding of lyricism and its political implications. By tracing the historical context from Ovid to contemporary figures, it highlights voices often marginalized in literary discourse. The dialogue includes a diverse range of poets, addressing how their works challenge traditional notions of freedom and creativity. This book serves as a significant critique of lyric studies, questioning the dominance of whiteness in literary criticism and advocating for a more inclusive approach to poetry.

Exploring the role of poetry in addressing political and social crises, this work highlights the profound connections formed through committed writing. It emphasizes how intimate poetries illuminate shared struggles against poverty, war, ecological disasters, racism, and illness, advocating for the power of radical tenderness in fostering understanding and resilience in challenging times.

An innovative suite of poems encompassing the drone age.

A wonderful new collection from Andrea Brady, American poet and lecturer. Andrea is also the curator of the Archive of the Now and the co-editor (with Keston Sutherland) of Barque Press.
