Records of an Incitement to Silence by Gregory Woods
In this new collection from gay cultural historian and literary critic Gregory Woods, individuals seek, find and lose love in a world united in strife and riven by desire.
'The late, great Peter Porter once observed that Gregory Woods was probably the most accomplished of contemporary formalist poets, which, if you pause to think where such praise comes from, is not merely a copper-bottomed endorsement but outstandingly generousAnd yet it's no more than Woods deserves. Look on his work, ye formalists, and despair... His work invites comparison with the best of Robert Graves... I can't think of any poet who so adroitly manages what is often tricky, even recalcitrant, material.' - John Lucas, London Grip
Gregory Woods is the author of Articulate Flesh: Male Homo-eroticism and Modern Poetry (1987), A History of Gay Literature: The Male Tradition (1998) and Homintern: How Gay Culture Liberated the Modern World (2016), all from Yale University Press.
