Publisher's Synopsis
"Did the woman have too much privilege? Is there such a thing as matriarchal language? Stamina and curiosity by the student-poets-scholars over 2 years of "Carrier Waves" (Zoom sessions) has led to this remarkable recovery, and intimate response. Look to the Archive was the prompt and the student collective cohort, spear-headed by the indomitable Christina Chady burrowed in. We started the BA MFA and SWP programs of Writing & Poetics nearly 50 years ago with a founding vision that we could build an archive that would resonate across a trajectory of consciousness. Work on this book seemed a powerful antidote through slog and mystery of pandemic time, of angst and loss, panic and sequester to some articulated agency around self-discovery, mysticism, dream, torqued language, identity, gender, race, class, sexual empowerment, queerness, disobedience, continuous present, whereby a struggling renascent poet feminism emerges.
