- Title
"Am I Not a Poetess?".
- Authors
Lootens, Tricia
- Abstract
"Woman/not Woman"; "Poetess/not a Poetess": here as elsewhere, it is on these edges that the shifting, potentially explosive instabilities of Poetess performance - including Poetess criticism - often play out. "Lesbian Poetess performer"; "queer Poetess performer"; "trans Poetess performer": why do these seem to be categories we have yet to consider, much less trouble? As Caley Liane Ehnes and Kylee-Anne Hingston dramatize, too, any focus on Frances Browne's initial attempt at "self-branding as an Irish poetess" alone would miss that author's crucial resistance to attempts at rending her "disabled body" an "essential marker of her identity as a poetess whether she wished or not.".
