Description
Showcasing the talents of Roo Borson, Paulette Jiles, Susan Glickman, Claire Harris, Elisabeth Harvor, Anne Michaels, Erin Moure and Bronwen Wallace, this stunning collection allows the reader an insightful view into writing at its most challenging and intriguing. Poems from each woman are introduced with an essay written by the poet herself that aims to both contextualize and demystify the writing. A major essay by editor Rhea Tregebov provides a critical evaluation of each contributor. Author photographs and biographical notes are also included to further situate the writing.
