Never affiliated with any group or school, Anne Stevenson grew up
in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and was educated at the University of
Michigan where, in 1954, she won a Major Hopwood Prize for poetry.
Since 1964 she has lived in the United Kingdom where a restless
career as a mother, teacher, bookseller, and skep-tical enthusiast
for some poetry has produced many volumes of verse, a highly
controversial biography of Sylvia Plath, and two critical
introductions to the work of Elizabeth Bishop. Feminist critics
will find much to invigorate and infuriate them in these essays.
Stevenson believes that the takeover of poetry by critical
theorists has, in recent years, all but brought about its demise in
England and America. But she also fears that the media's doctrine
of mass marketability may have a detrimental effect on the future
of poetry. Her essays on Plath, Bishop, Irish poetry, and other
subjects are as witty as they are challenging, upsetting many of
the easy assumptions of our putatively postmodern era. Anne
Stevenson is the author of numerous books, including Bitter Fame: A
Life of Sylvia Plath, The Other House, Four and a Half Dancing Men,
and most recently, Collected Poems 1955- 1995,
