Experimental fiction, lesbian aesthetics, and queer world making
This article explores how lesbian aesthetics inform Ali Smith's literary practice, including activism and gender nonconforming characters
Lesbian Death
The Lesbian South
In this book, Jaime Harker uncovers a largely forgotten literary renaissance in southern letters. Anchored by a constellation of southern women, the Women in Print movement grew from the queer union of women’s liberation, civil rights activism, gay liberation, and print culture. Broadly influential from the 1970s through the 1990s, the Women in Print movement created a network of writers, publishers, bookstores, and readers that fostered a remark…
“What Made Us Think They’d Pay Us for Making a Revolution?”
This chapter analyzes the case study of a feminist book distribution company Women in Distribution (WinD). WinD was established in late 1974 by three women (Helaine Harris, Cynthia Gair, and Lee Schwing), each with experience marketing and distributing lesbian-feminist materials. The story of WinD mirrors the growth in feminist publishing during the late 1970s and reinforces the power and influence of poetry, in particular, and of feminist writin…

A review of Beth Driscoll, The New Literary Middlebrow: Tastemakers and Reading in the Twenty-First Century (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015
This Book Is an Action
The Women's Liberation Movement held a foundational belief in the written word's power to incite social change.

Works created by women shined a light on taboo topics and offered inspiring accounts of personal transformation. Yet, as the chapters reveal, the texts coalesced into something far greater: a distinct and influential Amer…
Middlebrow Queer
How could one write about gay life for the mainstream public in Cold War America? Many midcentury gay American writers, hampered by external and internal censors, never managed to do it. But Christopher Isherwood did, and what makes his accomplishment more remarkable is that while he was negotiating his identity as a gay writer, he was reinventing himself as an American one. This book shows that Isherwood refashioned himself as an American writer…
