Dispatch

<p>The critical preface to <em>Dispatch</em> is broadly organized into two sections. The first section defines and analyzes the “social lyric” as a sub-genre of documentary poetry, paying attention especially to the ethics of witnessing. The second section explores the relationship between local/global and silence/sound via readings of the life, letters, and poetry of Lorine Niedecker. The focus of these two sections is intended to contextualize the framework/preoccupations of <em>Dispatch</em>. The first two sections of <em>Dispatch</em> are focused globally (colonialism, witness/documentation, cultural trauma/memory) while the final section shifts to consider some of these same issues locally (family trauma, memory, identity, place).</p>
