Poetry, Geography, Gender: Women rewriting contemporary Wales

Poetry, Geography, Gender constructs a considerable body of work as having been produced by as well as in particular cultural circumstances: ‘devolved’ Wales’s post-millennial growth into a newly international sense of cultural identity. The first study to read a large but overlooked group of poets against this backdrop, it draws on original materials generated by interviews with many of its subjects. The contention that poetic form can operate as an expressive cultural-political signifier has ramifications for contemporary scholarship in poetry and (literary) aesthetics, gender-criticism, Welsh Writing in English and the literary-cultural geography of the so-called British Isles.
