基本説明
This collection is unique in its combination of critics and poets in commentary on women's poetry in Britain, Ireland and North America.
Full Description
Contemporary Women's Poetry is a unique resource for students, teachers, and anyone interest in contemporary poetry. It offers the opportunity for readers to engage with the work of important figures and issues in contemporary women's poetry from two perspectives: that of poets themselves, and that of literary criticism. The poets discuss their writing practice and the reasons for their poetic strategies, while the literary critics many of whom are also poets themselves contextualise, analyse and situate the work of a wide range of poetry of the most significant women poets of our time in Britain and North America.
