This paper examines postcolonial subjectivity through modernist and postcolonial theories of the lyric. I suggest that an aesthetic consideration of the lyric form and subjectivity might foreground how the postcolonial lyric cherishes the concept of a bounded self while simultaneously reshaping boundaries. Such a consideration might move beyond subjectivity and identity formation by reading lyric poetry’s intervention in modernity as critique rather than self‐expression
