Poetry and Bondage by Andrea Brady
Tracing metaphors of bondage in poetry from Ovid through the present day, Poetry and Bondage analyses the contributions of bound people to the history of the lyric. It brings canonical and contemporary poets together with the songs of the plantation and the lyrics of mass incarceration.
