"Love is the Key": James Baldwin's Poethics of Love
Original language description
Often overlooked by James Baldwin criticism or addressed according to its unique relationshipto sex and gender, love plays a central role in the writer's oeuvre. This article, conceived as acontrapuntal reading between A Dialogue (1972)-the transcript of a four-hour conversationbetween James Baldwin and poet Nikki Giovanni in November 1971-and If Beale StreetCould Talk (1974), Baldwin's fifth novel, will shed light on Baldwin's "poethics" of love in the1970s, after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and the author's engagement with BlackPower and feminism. This revision takes its cues from intersectionality and extends them viaHortense Spillers's bold critique of Baldwin's politics of intimacy, his writing style, and theAmerican family grammar. His vision of love as moral "energy" not only anticipates whatDenise Ferreira da Silva terms a Black feminist "poethics," but is also a potential "key" to end"the racial nightmare" and "save the children," thereby becoming a poethics of love for theinfancy of the world.
