Description
The Working Classic is a collection of poetry, interviews, and essays that explore the intersection of class and creativity in the arts. Aaron Kent's work challenges the dominant narratives of the gentrified creative industry, which often overlook or co-opt working-class voices.
Through his writing, Kent shares his own experiences with identity and belonging, as well as those of others who have been marginalized by the system. The interviews, essays, and poems in this collection offer a searing critique of the establishment arts scene and its tendency to dictate the terms of participation for working-class voices.
Ultimately, The Working Classic presents a powerful vision of working-class poetics that subverts expectations and offers a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between class, identity, and creativity.
