Judith Butler's 2019;s Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity radically claimed that the sexed body is a fallacy, discursively constructed by the performance of gender. A.W. Strouse has undertaken to rewrite Butler's 2019;s classic tome into an octosyllabic poem. Inspired by the rhyming encyclopedias of the Middle Ages, Strouse transforms each of Butler's 2019;s sentences into Seussian couplets. This performative repetition of Chapter 1 of Butler's 2019;s Gender Trouble, Subjects of Sex/Gender/Desire, deconstructs Butler's 2019;s deconstruction. Relishing in the campiness of rhyme and meter's 2014;in the bodily pleasures of form's 2014;Strouse's 2019;s Gender Trouble Couplets, Volume 1 is an imitation for which there is no original. Gender Trouble, perhaps, was poetry all along.
