Feisty and childless (a cut and paste; a polylogue)

Hazel Smith

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This text results from a research project that analyzed publications about voluntary childlessness, a subject addressed in only a few sociological and psychological texts and almost entirely absent from poetry and fiction. I explore the topic through conceptual or 'uncreative' writing techniques (Goldsmith 2011), that cut-and paste texts from the Internet, resist conventional poetic techniques and minimise revision.
