Introduction to Claudia Rankine

Kathy Lou Schultzs Introduction to Claudia Rankine provides the first book-length introduction to this vitally important poet. Written for scholars, poets, students, and general readers, Schultzs book outlines Rankines poetic career in all its major facets, including an analysis of Rankines seminal book, Citizen. Rankines poetry, writes Schultz, gives voice to the unspeakable wounds and trauma of race in America. Schultz places Rankines poetry in the context of the poets life, her works in other genres, and our challenging political moment. See more
