Trespassing in the Archive

This book is a collection of essays on works of poetry that engage, question, or reimagine history. The essays in this volume consider topics ranging from the ethics of archival projects, the aesthetics of the archive, questions of access to archives for creative practitioners and how this accessibility has shaped the works themselves, the politics of the archive, and the ways in which poetry has offered a hypothetical testing ground where the power dynamics, upheavals, and discontent reflected historical texts can be renegotiated.
