Identity Poetics by Linda Garber
Describes the role of lesbian poets as theorists of lesbian identity and activism. This work includes historical writing about the women's and lesbian-feminist movements; discussions of works of Judy Grahn, Pat Parker, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, and Gloria Anzaldua; and, a chapter on the rise and hegemony of queer theory within lesbigay studies.
A provocative and sophisticated book that challenges the presumed opposition between lesbian feminism and queer theory and rethinks orthodox notions about identity politicsBonnie Zimmerman Identitiy Poetics is a thoughtful, provocative, and engaging book. Careful to aknowledge the ideas of others, Garber sets a wonderful tone for her arguements, one of allied scholarship rather than academic crossfire. Gay and Lesbian Review
