Stitch, Unstitch
Modernist Poetry and the World of Work
Book •
Kristin Grogan's Stitch, Unstitch: Modernist Poetry and the World of Work examines how early twentieth-century poets engaged with processes of labor, craft, and industrial production.
The book argues that modernist poetics were shaped by and responded to different forms of work, from domestic crafts to industrial labor.
Grogan reads poets and poems through the material conditions and labor practices that informed their production and reception.
She foregrounds how work both inspires aesthetic forms and structures cultural value within modernist literary networks.
The study offers new readings of canonical and lesser-known modernist writers by situating their poetries within the economic and material worlds they inhabited.
