内容説明

None of the new women poets in this anthology has yet published a book, yet they include some of the most original new voices of the Nineties. Most have already been widely published in magazines, and some have won major literary prizes. All are now at the point of producing first collections which will help set the tone of poetry in the new decade, with poems that are passionate and precise, subtle and skilful, sardonic and streetwise, acure, aware or quietly moving. 'The whole notion that women poets can be legitimately grouped in this way, and that gender is almost a symbolic form of nationality, owes everything to the Women's Movement, and the literary revolution it created. The very fact that such a book as this can be published at all proves the success of that revolution. Any amassing of women's voices will amount to a fairly radical critique of current society. It is up to the reader to decide that that critique is.' - Carol Rumens The poets included are: Rachel Blake, Vuywelwa Carlin, Liz Cashdan, Janet Fisher, Linda France, Cynthia Fuller, Elizabeth Garrett, Adele Geras, Angela Greene, Lavinia Greenlaw, Fiona Hall, Tracey Herd, Jackie Kay, Mimi Khalvati, Gwyneth Lewis, S.J. Litherland, Christine McNeill, Jill Maughan, Mary O'Donnell, Katrina Porteous, Anne Rouse, Eva Salzman, Linda Saunders, Christiania Whitehead, Briar Wood.
