An in-depth analysis of the work of one of the
twentieth century’s most innovative writers
Kathy Acker's body of work is one of the most significant collections of
experimental writing in English. In Kathy Acker: Writing the Impossible;
Georgina Colby explores Acker's compositional processes and intricate
experimental practices, from early poetic exercises written in the 1970s to her
final writings in 1997. Through original archival research, Colby traces the stages
in Ackers writing and draws on her knowledge of unpublished manuscripts,
notebooks, essays, illustrations and correspondence to produce new ways of
reading Acker's works. Rather than treating Acker as a postmodern writer, this
book argues that Acker continued a radical modernist engagement with the crisis
of language, and carried out a series of experiments in composition and writing
that are comparable in scope and rigor to her modernist predecessors Stein and
Joyce. Each chapter focuses on a particular compositional method and insists
on the importance of avant-garde experiment to the process of making new’ non-
conventional modes of meaning. Combining close attention to the form of Acker's
experimental writings with a consideration of the literary cultures from which
she emerged, Colby positions Acker as a key figure in the American avant-garde
and a pioneer of contemporary experimental womens writing. |
