Beschreibung:
Marisa Crawford is the author of the poetry collections Reversible and The Haunted House. She is co-editor, with Megan Milks, of We Are The Baby-Sitters Club: Essays & Artwork from Grown-Up Readers, and editor of The Weird Sister Collection (Feminist Press, forthcoming 2024). Marisa's writing has appeared in The Nation, Harper's Bazaar, Hyperallergic, BUST, and elsewhere. She lives in New York.
If "the realm of the personal and sexual has always been literary for men [...] and confessional for women," as Lori Saint-Martin puts it, Marisa Crawford's Diary explodes the literary/confessional binary, pushing the limits of what it means to write a poem, a diary entry, a marketing copy block. A woman works, walks, and writes, traversing Midtown Manhattan on a lunch break from a corporate day job: like her predecessors Frank O'Hara and Clarissa Dalloway, she sweeps through streets and stores, navigating the entangled pleasures and horrors of city life in late capitalism. Family, literary, and personal histories of New York appear around every corner, braiding themselves into poems that glow with longing for this life and for all the others-in memory and fantasy-that shimmer behind it.¿¿
