This essay outlines a series of parallels between queer critiques of community and the concept of lyric detachment in modern poetics. It suggests that this shared suspicion of community can provide one starting point for a reconsideration of how ‘counterintimacies’, as described by Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner, are figured in queer poetry. In order to illustrate this, it examines interactions between lyric tropes and homoerotic practices in Carl Phillips’s poem ‘Hymn’.

Abstract
This essay outlines a series of parallels between queer critiques of community and the concept of lyric detachment in modern poetics. It suggests that this shared suspicion of community can provide one starting point for a reconsideration of how ‘counterintimacies’, as described by Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner, are figured in queer poetry. In order to illustrate this, it examines interactions between lyric tropes and homoerotic practices in Carl Phillips’s poem ‘Hymn’.File allegati a questo prodotto
