Articulate Flesh by Gregory Woods, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Arguing that homosexual poetry is part of the mainstream of poetic writing—not a distinct and differentiated category within it—Gregory Woods provides a fastidious study of homosexual poetry in the twentieth century that emphasizes the homo-erotic themes in the works of D. H. Lawrence, Hart Crane, W. H. Auden, Allen Ginsberg, and Thom Gunn. Woods’s controlled and elegant study demonstrates that a critic who ignores the sexual orientation of a poet, particularly a love poet, risks overlooking the significance of the poetry itself. | Articulate Flesh by Gregory Woods, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
