Synopsis
Maggie Nelson's study offers the first extensive examination of the roles women played within and around the New York School of poets, spanning from the 1950s to the present. The book provides in-depth analyses of works by Barbara Guest, Bernadette Mayer, Alice Notley, Eileen Myles, and abstract painter Joan Mitchell. It also re-evaluates the contributions of many male New York School writers and artists through a feminist lens.
