About this volume, poet Robert Creeley wrote, "Claudia Rankine here manages an extraordinary melding of means to effect the most articulate and moving testament to the bleak times we live in I’ve yet seen. It’s master work in every sense, and altogether her own."〔(Pomona College Magazine online ): news release〕 Rankine's play ''The Provenance of Beauty: A South Bronx Travelogue'' was a 2011 Distinguished Development Project Selection in the American Voices New Play Institute at Arena Stage. Also of note, Rankine devotes time to work on documentary multimedia pieces with her husband, photographer John Lucas.〔Ashley Harris, ("UTSA hosts creative writing, reading series" ), UTSA Today, April 4, 2007.〕 In 2013, Rankine was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.〔(Academy of American Poets Names New Chancellors: Marilyn Nelson, Claudia Rankine, and C. D. Wright )〕 In 2014, Graywolf Press published her book of poetry, ''Citizen: An American Lyric''.〔Dan Chiasson, ("Colour Codes" ), ''The New Yorker'', October 27, 2014.〕〔Adam Fitzgerald, ("'That's not poetry; it's sociology!' – in defence of Claudia Rankine's Citizen" ), ''The Guardian'', October 23, 2015.〕 About her work, the poet Mark Doty said, "Claudia Rankine’s formally inventive poems investigate many kinds of boundaries: the unsettled territory between poetry and prose, between the word and the visual image, between what it’s like to be a subject and the ways we’re defined from outside by skin color, economics, and global corporate culture. This fearless poet extends American poetry in invigorating new directions."〔(Claudia Rankine ) at poets.org.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claudia Rankine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
