No Spare People

Beschreibung

Poetry. Women's Studies / Gender Studies. Writing About the South. No Spare People documents the joys and perils of a tiny mother-daughter family navigating life on the margins. From poems about finding autonomy as a queer, unpartnered parent by choice in the South to those chronicling a generation's economic instability, Hoover rejects so-called "acceptable losses" stemming from inequalities of gender, race, and class. The book asks, what happens to the woman no longer willing to live a lie? How does language invent not only identity, but possibility?

Autor

Erin Hoover is the author of Barnburner, selected by Kathryn Nuernberger for Elixir Press's Antivenom Award and winner of a 2018 Florida Book Award. Publishers Weekly called Barnburner a "candid portrait of normalized cruelty" that was "likely to get readers to question their own malignant perceptions and passivity in the face of injustice." Her second book, No Spare People, is forthcoming in October 2023. Hoover's poems have appeared in The Best American Poetry and Best New Poets, among other publications. Poems from No Spare People have been published (or will appear) in Bennington Review, Cincinnati Review, Couplet, the Florida Review, On the Seawall, Poetry Northwest, Shenandoah, and Split This Rock. Hoover is an assistant professor of English at Tennessee Tech.
