Lyric Pedagogy and Marxist-Feminism: Social Reproduction and the Institutions of Poetry (Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics)

What is the political potential of poetry in the contemporary era? Exploring an often overlooked history of Marxist-Feminist poetics in post-war Britain – including such poets as Denise Riley, Veronica Forrest-Thomson, Wendy Mulford and Nat Raha – this book confronts this central question to debates about the value of humanities education today.
 Lyric Pedagogy and Marxist-Feminism demonstrates how ideas of social reproduction have been central both to the forms of post-1945 British poetry and the educational institutions where poetry is overwhelmingly encountered and produced. Combining new archival research with close readings of key poets of the period, the book charts the interrelated crises both of poetry itself and literary education more widely. Paradoxically, the very marginalisation of poetry in contemporary culture serves to offer the form new opportunities as an agent of social transformation.

History & Criticism

Daniel Kirk and his wife Chelsea, on their way to a marriage retreat cruise, are hijacked and find themselves adrift in the ocean, landing on an unknown and mysterious island. Their marriage on the rocks, and their lives at stake, they must fight for survival, and fight for each other. With the world stripped away and their hearts broken, they must face each other, face God, and a mortal enemy that would destroy them.

They say that 'All roads lead to Rome'...Three young boys, having lost their homes and families to Roman raids, join up with an unlikely group of fellow believers, on a mission to go straight into the great city of Rome and rescue their friends. Under intense persecution, secret police, and a cruel Emperor, they rely on the Lord to guide their way through, testing their faith at every turn. Evil temples, brutal soldiers, and great lions all loom as threats as large as the Colosseum itself. New companions offer help, but betrayal is everywhere. Trying to understand, trying to stay alive, trying to save friends and save souls, the rugged group must face the jagged teeth of Rome and escape her crushing bite. But if all roads lead to Rome, how will they find their way out?

On one level, Special Subcommittee is an experimental family history of Samuel Solomon's communist, labor-organizer grandparents, told through the sterile language of redacted FBI files and transcripts of congressional hearings. Against these subcommittees of repression, he then invents an ardent and committed lyric of queer communist relation revolving around his chosen family: his friends, lovers, and political comrades. The combination is wild, radical, and subversive.Samuel Solomon is the author of Life of Riley and the co-translator of The Acrobat: Selected Poems of Celia Dropkin. He teaches at the University of Sussex, where he is Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence.
