Often Capital

by Jennifer Moxley

Poetry. First published as two separate chapbooks in 1995 and 1996, Often Capital explores the tensions between political commitment and personal desire. Moxley draws in part on the love letters of the Polish radical Rosa Luxemburg in searching out a habitable space for resistance. Moxley employs techniques of collage and juxtaposition as well as narration to sound her subject. Yet the lean, sonorous lines that result leap out of any categorical dichotomies.

Reviews

[Amira Hanafi]

The second part, Enlightenment Evidence, derived from and in conversation with Rosa Luxembourg's love letters, is exemplary of what poetry can do with and for politics.
