Due Norse
View through CrossRef
A personal and lyric exploration of the nature of the queer canon, remembrance and legacy. The chapter offers up close readings of Norse’s work, and opens up into a wider discussion about where Norse is placed, or not, within the queer canon and why this might be, in comparsion to some of his contemporaries. Shifting away from the more straightly academic nature of some of the chapters, Due Norse seeks to explore Norse’s singular journey through poetry, stopping off at the key destinations of relevant poems, and considering the nature of legacy; who is it that gets remembered, who gets ‘forgotten’, which queer poets do we encounter and is this always because they belong to another ‘school’ of critical thought? A chapter which reorientates and repositions the legacy of Norse.
