Working class women's psychogeography in experimental poetry: the work of Geraldine Monk and Maggie O'Sullivan

This thesis aims to examine the poetry of the aforementioned writers in the context of both social class and location. Due attention is given to Monk's Interregnum and Noctivagations, and O'Sullivan's Waterfalls and Divisions of Labour, through the lens of the authors as working class women. The accompanying creative sequence aims to apply the same principles of working class women's psychogeography to my own work, through both Monk and O'Sullivan's methods of giving voice to the "unsaid" and "unseen" realm of the "Other" in innovative poetry.
