Wild associations: Rebecca Solnit, Maggie Nelson and the lyric essay

View through CrossRef
The lyric essay often works associatively to create meaning through metaphor, analogy, and the juxtaposition of anecdotes, observations, or citations. This paper examines these ‘wild’ associations in Rebecca Solnit’s The Faraway Nearby (2013), and in Maggie Nelson’s Bluets (2009) and The Argonauts (2015). It argues that all three texts work like long lyric essays and construct an essaying ‘I’ whose associative approach presents not just a view of the world but a method for viewing the world.
