"A fabulous book ... a case study in anthologizing ... a liberation for the reader." - John Kinsella "This is an ambitious piece of work - subtle in its organization, daring in its range. The arguments about women-only anthologies will continue to be debated but there can be little doubt about the richness and diversity of much of the modern poetry being written by women, this lively book is proof of that." Warwick Review a wide-ranging selection of very accomplished and authoritative poets and poems [that] have earned a place in posterity's poetry school.A" Artemis Poetry
