In two long fictional poems, a rich narrative momentum engages readers in the mysterious places--including Victorian novels--where characters, sexualities, and fates are unmade and made. Sedgwick's poetry opens an unfamiliar, intimate, daring space that steadily refigures not only what a critic may be, but what a poem can do. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFat Art, Thin Art\" is a wrenchingly honest account--or enactment--of a writer's relation to her gift. . . . filled with hesitations, self-cancellations, erasures, and gratifying fireworks. The pleasure of \"Fat Art, Thin Art\" is witnessing Sedgwick discovering, again and again, the wonders--gorgeous shames and vindications--of what she can say.\"--Wayne Koestenbaum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEve Kosofsky Sedgwick is Distinguished Professor of English, CUNY Graduate Center.
