Abstract
Philosophers discussing lyric poetry often focus on first personal expression as a mark of the ‘lyric’, which has resulted in a narrow characterisation of the nature of intimacy in lyric poetry that focuses on the individual poet, poetic voice or reader. In this article, I highlight a valuable way in which some works of lyric poetry can engage us in a kind of intimate relationship that connects the reader with the voice of the poem through the use of the second person. In illustrating my claims, I will focus on Claudia Rankine's collection of poems Citizen (2014).
