Thanks for this, Sean — fantastic. I can’t remember now when I first became aware of Niedecker’s poetry — grad school (mid-‘90s)? — but I’m grateful to learn more about her work and life through you.
“Dissatisfied with the limits of gender and class, Niedecker made her inner space complete and expansive.” Exactly this.
Another great poet I sadly discovered only recently and accidentally, long after graduate school. Thanks for highlighting her work here. It’s magnificent.
What a good introduction to Lorine Niedecker. Her ability to compress language and expand thought is exemplary. Someone to admire and learn from.
thanks so much. She's definitely worth your time and attention
