Jack Parlett

The Poetics of Cruising

Queer Visual Culture from Whitman to Grindr

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"The Poetics of Cruising explores the relationship between cruising, photography, and the visual in the work of leading poets. Whether it's Whitman's fixation with daguerreotypes, Langston Hughes's hybrid photographic works, or Frank O'Hara's love of Hollywood movie stars, argues Jack Parlett, the history of poets cruising abounds with this intermingling between the verbal and the visual, the passing and the fixed."--
