SynopsisGathers poems by Hilda Doolittle, Marianne Moore, Edna St Vincent Millay, Lou Bogan, Stevie Smith, Maxine Kumin, Adrienne Rich, Sylvia Plath, and Margaret Atwood., This anthology of women's poetry is destined to establish a canon by which other, more partial anthologies will eventually be judged. It is at once historically representative, catholic in its taste, and rigorously selective - demonstrating the richness and variety of women's contributions to twentieth-century literature. Fleur Adcock is a highly respected poet in her own right. Her volume of Selected Poems was published by Oxford University Press in 1983.
