Contemporary Australian poetry neglects its working class voices. Literary journals rarely publish poetry that focuses on working-class life and there is little analysis of the poetics of class in contemporary Australian scholarship on poetry. This book argues that there is a strong and vibrant body of contemporary Australian working-class poetry that merits greater public attention and more incisive critical review. This book offers an analysis of the content and poetics of contemporary Australian working-class poetry and of the context in which it has been produced. It presents works that to date have been ignored or dismissed by the literary mainstream. It proposes that working-class poetry can be regarded as a distinctive genre of poetry, and argues that working-class poetry provides important insights into class inequalities. In short, this book creates a poetic for approaching the academic analysis of working-class cultural discourse. This book should be useful to anyone interested in Australian poetry and working-class studies. The book is written in an accessible style that will also hopefully appeal to readers outside of educational institutions.
