Identity Poetics: Race, Class, and the Lesbian-Feminist Roots of Queer Theory
by Linda Garber
Columbia University Press
262 pages, $49.95 ($18.50 paper)
HAS A RETRO WAVE of lesbian feminism washed over the country? Have we arrived in the post-queer era? What is it about lesbian feminist writings that has endured? The answers, I think, can be found in the poetry of the age, and in Linda Garber's book Identity Poetics: Race, Class, and the Lesbian-Feminist Roots of Queer Theory. Garber has written a smart, readable, wide-ranging examination of five poets whose writings helped to define early lesbian feminist theory and who, according to Garber's account, deserve some credit for their contributions to the current body of queer theory. While Identity Poetics certainly engages in some academic turf debates, what I like most about the book is how much it focuses on the poets and their work.
