Beschreibungen
<i>Dragstripping</i>, Jan Beatty’s seventh collection of poems, takes readers to the literal dragstrip, the metaphorical dragstrip of the body, and the strip club, where the ecstatic is rescripted and where women disappear and reappear in the crosscut of gender. Transgressing into and out of poetic form, Beatty writes the fractured landscape of the unknown woman, breaking rules of grammar and subverting expected speech, mixing the real and unreal, and finding elation in a strange and shifting land.
<b>Rescripting the Ecstatic in the Midst of Violence</b><b></b>
<b>Jan Beatty </b>is the author of six previous collections of poetry, most recently <i>The Body Wars</i> and <i>Jackknife: New and Selected Poems</i>, which won the Paterson Poetry Prize. Her memoir, <i>American Bastard</i>, won the Red Hen Nonfiction Prize. Beatty has worked as a waitress, in abortion clinics, and in maximum-security prisons and is professor emerita at Carlow University, where she directed the MFA and creative writing programs and the Madwomen in the Attic writing workshops.
