Abstract
This chapter begins with a discussion of three works of poetics that emphasize local and material concerns from poets-theorists-activists engaged in collaborative and experimental writing practices. This openness in form and enquiry is further reflected in the major works published in 2023 that are under examination in the body of the review, which together attend to six major topics: (1) the formation of national poetries; (2) the role of the academy in preserving or destabilizing the lyric voice; (3) the intimate impasse of confessional and anthropocentric writing; (4) the sensorial body of hybrid writing; (5) the limiting structures of racial capitalism; and (6) the role of poetry in public life. Ending with a brief reflection on the immense influence of Lyn Hejinian, this chapter attests to the openness of enquiry that the aesthetic, philosophical, and political field of poetics permits from its discrete social locations and close attention to the page, the voice, and the body.
