If You're Not Free At Work, Where Are You Free?

The essays in If You're Not Free At Work, Where Are You Free?: Literature and Social Change focus on the interconnection of community/workplace/individual and how literature (and thinking about literature) has a role in social struggles aimed at making that nexus more liberatory. The essays' topics include various social issues in contemporary writing—daily work, narrative, love poems, the teaching (and hence status) of poetry, and postmodernism.
