Feminist Poetics Today
guest-edited by Kate Eichorn and Barbara Godard
What are the challenges for feminist poetics today? How has feminist criticism responded to new women's writing? What are the spaces for diffusing this work? How have these changed over the last decade? With these questions,
we take up a dialogue begun in Open Letter in 1992. At that time, Lola Lemire Tostevin invited a group of Canadian women writers to articulate their process of writing and contribute to an issue on feminist poetics. Rather than solicit submissions
from "the most prominent names," Tostevin "felt it was time we heard from another generation of writers." Fifteen years have passed since the pubilication of "Redrawing the Lines: The Next Generation" and many of this "next generation" have become
established writers. What has happened with feminist poetics since
"the next generation"? The literary and political terrains have changed: there are far fewer opportunities to explore women's writing and feminist poetics today than there were in 1992.
How have the generations of women writers and critics to emerge since 1992 responded to this situation?
Contributors will include Lola Tostevin, Joanne Arnott, and Margaret Christakos reflecting on their earlier contributions, Sandra Alland, Oana Avasilichioaei, Angela Carr, Jessica Grant, Jill Hartman, Sonnet L'Abbe, Sylvia Legris, Angela Rawlings, Sina
Queyras, Natalie Simpson, Nathalie Stephens, Rita Wong, Rachel Zolf, and critics Heather Milne, Christine Kim, Erin Guay, Holly Dupej, John Stout, and Trish Salah.
Released July 2009.
