Description:EP 77.At first glance, it may not seem unusual in the twenty-first century for artists to talk about how the body resides at a political nexus of class, gender, race, and sexuality. But for Jan Beatty, Meg Day, and Douglas Kearney, the body also is a matter of poetics—a question of craft, not just a thematic locus for their poems. The cultural work of a poem can too easily overshadow the subtleties of craft in contemporary critical discourse, privileging the sociological dimensions of what a poem says at the expense of the aesthetic strategies deployed by the poet who brought the poem into being. These interviews with Beatty, Day, and Kearney begin with the assumption that the social and aesthetic dimensions of the poem are of equal importance in the production and reception of the work—and they affirm, in different ways for each poet, that we do a disservice to both politics and craft if we disengage those dimensions from each other.Exerpt:What is the book’s body? For me, it’s very difficult to imagine a focus on the bodies of the people in my family and not think of the political history of the black body and the cultural presentation of the black body.
