The Pink Guitar: Writing as Feminist Practice

by Rachel Blau DuPlessis

A noted feminist critic and innovative poet, Rachel DuPlessis has gathered her speculative essays in a unique collection that is as much a work of art as a book of feminist criticism. Fusing meditation and passion, The Pink Guitar articulates an extensive critique of modernist representations of the female whose prose reverberates with the intensive rhythms of art.

[Julene · Rating 5 out of 5]

I learned I can write essays in a different format by reading this book. This is a bit above my head since I haven't read all the poetry books she refers to and since many of them are language poets, but I followed the feminist theory and something always came clear. There is much to glean about women's writing in the world from this book.
