This essay considers the participation of Cathy Park Hong in a movement of diverse writers of color in the U.S. That movement struggles against the white privilege that appropriates non-white ethnicity, as in the work of conceptual poets Vanessa Place and Kenneth Goldsmith, while excluding people of color themselves, as many have argued is the case with the avant-garde and, specifically, conceptual poetry. Hong, among others, has engaged the conceptual poets in essays and recent poems, calling them out for their exclusive and appropriative white privilege. The discussion in which she participates includes many voices in an ethnic pastiche that demonstrates Ramón Saldívar’s theorization of a “post-race” aesthetic. Four poems by Hong, each with a marginalized woman speaker or main character, use that aesthetic to force examination of sexist and racist practices in the American avant-garde.
Abstract
This essay considers the participation of Cathy Park Hong in a movement of diverse writers of color in the U.S. That movement struggles against the white privilege that appropriates non-white ethnicity, as in the work of conceptual poets Vanessa Place and Kenneth Goldsmith, while excluding people of color themselves, as many have argued is the case with the avant-garde and, specifically, conceptual poetry. Hong, among others, has engaged the conceptual poets in essays and recent poems, calling them out for their exclusive and appropriative white privilege. The discussion in which she participates includes many voices in an ethnic pastiche that demonstrates Ramón Saldívar’s theorization of a “post-race” aesthetic. Four poems by Hong, each with a marginalized woman speaker or main character, use that aesthetic to force examination of sexist and racist practices in the American avant-garde.
