Opis

This companion forms the best introduction to the work of one of Britain's leading experimental writers. Maggie O'Sullivan has an international reputation as a poet both on the page and as a mesmerising performer. Influenced by Bob Cobbing, Barry MacSweeney and Susan Howe, to name just a few - her work breaks through traditional boundaries of performance and writerly practice and, along with Geraldine Monk, she can be seen as a profoundly important player in the early feminist avant-garde in the UK that emerged during the 1970s. She continues to be a major influence on new women's writing to this day and this volume of essays rightly locates (and relocates) her influence, methodologies and artistic practice within a thriving alternative British poetry.
