About the book >.>.> Fat Art Thin Art embodies the decades-long adventure of a transformative talent. The poems collected here offer the most accessible and definitive formulations to appear any- where in Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s writing on some characteristic subjects and some new ones: passionate attachments within and across genders; queer childhoods of many kinds; the performativity of a long unconventional marriage; depressiveness hilarity and bliss; grave illness; despised and magnetic bodies and bodily parts. The writing spans a career marked by three powerfully written volumes in gay/lesbian studies during which Sedgwick has crossed and recrossed the electrified boundaries that are supposed to separate theory lyric and narrative. In two long fictional poems a rich narrative momentin engages readers in the mysterious places including Victorian novels-where characters sexualities and fates are unmade and made Sedgwick’s poetry opens an unfamiliar intimate daring space that steadily refigures not only what a critic may be but what a poem can do.
