Beyond Intimacy: Radical Proximity and Justice in Three Mexican Poets

How poetry, through radicalization of intimacy, is a vector for social justice against systemic biases and historical wrongdoing.

Beyond Intimacy explores the relationship between art and justice through an analysis of works by three Mexican poets: Abigael Bohórquez, Myriam Moscona, and Gloria Gervitz. Establishing lyricism as an invitation to social dialogue, the book recognizes poetry’s potential for justice through the radicalization of the concept of intimacy.
