Introduction: Working Late

Walton, Jo Lindsay; Luker, Ed

Show Your Workings: Other Forms of Labour in Recent Poetry

Middleton, Peter

Pages: 71 –104

[Although modernist and late modernist poets write extensively about both traditional and historically unprecedented forms of labour, the scope of this poetic interest remains under-recognised. As readers of poetry, we need to update our categories and our theories of what constitutes paid and...

Bird-Song by Everyone, for Everyone: Poetry, Work, and Play in J. H. Prynne’s Prose

Jeschke, Lisa

Pages: 105 –119

[In a series of prose works, J. H. Prynne sketches an alternative political economy of poetic production—one that challenges strict divisions between work and play, and between the worlds of adult and child. In the lecture “The Poet’s Imaginary,” Prynne mobilizes the “surprise” that can be found...

“The Stitching of Her Wake”: The Collaboration of Pamela Campion and Ian Hamilton Finlay

Matsumoto, Lila

Pages: 121 –137

[Finlay’s collaborative approach to art-making is well-documented, but the works he made with the embroiderer Pamela Campion have yet to be the subject of extended consideration. Campion was Finlay’s sole collaborator in embroidery. Campion also produced a host of works for Finlay’s exhibitions...

Basil Bunting and the Work of Poetry

Haynes, Annabel

Pages: 139 –164

[Throughout Bunting’s small, precise oeuvre, the theme of work—and the notion of poetry-making as a form of work—is a constant presence. Key to Bunting’s presentation of different kinds of work is the advocacy of craft work as a counterpoint to alienated and enervated cultures. In this essay I...

Art Takes All My Time: Work in the Poetry and Prison Writing of Anna Mendelssohn

Careless, Eleanor

Pages: 165 –193

[Anna Mendelssohn’s poetry is indelibly marked by her own experience of imprisonment and gendered discrimination. Implicated with the guerrilla activities of the Angry Brigade, Mendelssohn was convicted of conspiracy in 1972 and incarcerated in Holloway Women’s Prison. From 1971 Holloway...

Queer Labour in Boston: The Work of John Wieners, Gay Liberation and Fag Rag

Raha, Nat

Pages: 195 –243

Without the Text at Hand: Postcolonial Writing and the Work of Memorisation

Lê, Aimée

Pages: 245 –262

[This chapter explores how the work of memorisation problematises the location of textual authority. Given that memorisation is a deliberate choice rather than a necessity for the contemporary writer, the choice to “ingest” the text and to recite (or “perform”) poetry without a script has...

Body Burdens: The Materiality of Work in Rita Wong’s Forage

Walton, Samantha

Pages: 263 –290

[This chapter considers materiality and corporeality in forage (2007) by Rita Wong. Poetry in this collection addresses the social and environmental injustice of consumerism by following the disguised and mystified routes of supply chains to reveal the materiality of work and the body of the...

“Because We Love Wrong”: Citizenship and Labour in Alena Hairston’s The Logan Topographies

Smith, Lytton

Pages: 291 –307

[This chapter situates Alena Hairston’s The Logan Topographies (2007)—a book about Black coal mining communities that uses Logan, WV as a metonymy for wider cultural patterns—within a debate over the gendered distinction between labour and work identified by Hannah Arendt and expanded upon by M....
