The word "transgressive" was already dead twenty years ago. Here's the poet Kay Ryan in 2005: "The word transgressive is thick upon the ground here at AWP... It’s funny how writers will all want to jump on the same bed till the springs pop out. Then they go jump on another one."
A.V. Marraccini@saintsoftness · Jul 14I’m seeing a lot of posts about “transgressive” literature and I’m genuinely trying to figure out what that means. What taboo is it still possible to transgress in a way that is meaningful in a society where taboo itself is taboo? Does transgression invert or become obsolete?
