The Poetics of Wrongness is a captivating collection of essays and talks that poet Rachel Zucker has expanded from her lectures delivered for the Bagley Wright Lecture Series in 2016. These profound and thought-provoking lectures, while devastating in their revelations, hold a glimmer of hope in their endurance. Zucker boldly declares, "I write against. My poetics is a poetics of opposition and provocation that I never outgrew. Against the status quo or the powers that be, writing out of and into wrongness." Through her deft dismantling of outdated paradigms, Zucker challenges the very categories imposed on poetry, as well as the necessity for poets to speak and the resulting responsibilities. By bringing renowned figures such as Bernadette Mayer, Marina Abramovic, Alice Notley, Adrienne Rich, and Audre Lorde into the conversation, Zucker questions the boundaries that have confined poetry and the urgent need for poets to engage with the political events of our time. These expanded talks, while rooted in their original observations, are designed to respond to and engage the ongoing political landscape, ensuring their timeless relevance and galvanizing force.
