Abstract

Kornelia Freitag's contribution to the study of women's experimental writing investigates how contemporary American women poets have developed a critique of culture and representation that is strictly related to postmodern theory. After sketching a general overview of the development and reception of women's experimental poetry from the '60s to the present, Freitag concentrates on the poetry of Rosemary Waldrop, Lyn Hejinian and Susan Howe. The three poets, whose work is analysed through accurate close-readings, are presented in the light of their interventions in the deconstruction of three normative discourses: philosophy, genre theory and history.
