RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 "A Whole New Poetry Beginning Here": The Poetics/Politics of Adrienne Rich and Audre Lorde A1 Hubert, Susan J. AB The insistence on the inseparability of poetics and politics as articulatedby Adrienne Rich and Audre Lorde, two powerful voices inlesbian-feminist poetry and criticism, represents a significant contributionto twentieth-century poetry. The poetics/politics of Lorde andRich represents movement from silence to speech and from lesbianinvisibility to woman-identification as a basis for poetry, and ultimatelycreates a lesbian poetry that has the power for personal andsocial transformation. Although queer theorists have tended to rejectlesbian-feminism as an essentialist and totalizing discourse, advancementin any of these three areas remains a significant achievement inpoetry and politics.
