Recenzii
A Yankee Book Peddler Literary Essentials Title for 2013 'This book in particular challenges the structure of the genre of the prose novel, poetry and epics, and as a result disrupts the expectations that readers may have from these genres. ... Burkitt has presented to her readers various ways in which the political, sexual and gendered spaces represented in these works can be extrapolated.' Rocky Mountain Review

Descriere
Focusing on works by Derek Walcott, Les Murray, Anne Carson and Bernardine Evaristo, Burkitt investigates the relationship between literary form and textual politics in postcolonial narrative poems and verse-novels. Her book makes a critical intervention in the politics of literary form as she notes the way works by these authors disrupt and undermine the expectations attached to particular genres and literary traditions.
