Poetry in America is flourishing in this new millennium and asking
serious questions of itself: Is writing marked by gender and if so,
how? What does it mean to be experimental? How can lyric forms be
authentic? This volume builds on the energetic tensions inherent in
these questions, focusing on ten major American women poets whose
collective work shows an incredible range of poetic practice.
Each section of the book is devoted to a single poet and contains
new poems; a brief "statement of poetics" by the poet herself in
which she explores the forces -- personal, aesthetic, political --
informing her creative work; a critical essay on the poet's work; a
biographical statement; and a bibliography listing works by and
about the poet. Underscoring the dynamic give and take between
poets and the culture at large, this anthology is indispensable for
anyone interested in poetry, gender and the creative process.
