Reviews

“Fogarty’s book relies on poems to help us explore the political tensions that animate everyday language. … The poems he chooses illuminate acutely political situations in ways that would challenge other kinds of expression. The Politics of Speech makes its case with an enviable dexterity of style and an easy reference to a large corpus of scholarship. There is, in addition, a rare and beautiful humanity that accompanies the scholarly humility, which is not a pose but an earnest trust in poetry” (Walt Hunter, Modern Philology, December 18, 2023)
