The Slicks - On Sylvia Plath and Taylor Swift

In The Slicks , Maggie Nelson positions culture-dominating pop superstar Taylor Swift and feminist cult icon Sylvia Plath as twin hosts of the female urge toward wanting hard, working hard, and pouring forth - and as twinned targets of patriarchy''s ancient urge to disparage, trivialise and demonise such prolific, intimate output. The Slicks is a heady, rallying and unexpected melding of popular culture and literary criticism - an inspired treatise and unexpected celebration of two iconic female poets by one of the most revered and influential critics of her generation.
