An exciting and welcome contribution to the field of contemporary poetry studies, Postmodern Poetry and Queer Medievalisms: Time Mechanics (De Gruyter, 2022) is one of the latest books we have indexed at Southwest Humanities. Edited and introduced by translator, poet, and scholar David Hadbawnik, this collection brings together recent work on the relations between contemporary and medieval poetry, with an emphasis on how recent poets’ engagement with medieval literary forms yields a particularly “queer” experience for the reader. Covering work by Caroline Bergvall, Patience Agbabi, W. H. Auden, Jack Spicer, Robert Duncan, Chaucer, and others, the contributors to this volume (and the poets they study) ask us to “grapple with the ways in which we are still ‘medieval’. . . . by challenging the primacy of present over past, toppling the categories of old and new, and suggesting new interpretive frameworks for contemporary and medieval poetry alike.” Postmodern Poetry and Queer Medievalisms, which will be published in May 2022, at the De Gruyter website here.
