Women poets writing at the intersections of different schools of poetics This highly useful resource combines great selections of poetry by eleven female innovators, whose work opens up new streams of thought on history, society, language and authority, with brilliant essays about them.--Elizabeth Gregory, author of Apparition of Splendor: Marianne Moore Performing Democracy through Celebrity, 1952-1970 From the vital crosscurrents of the meeting of lyric and language almost 20 years ago, this third volume offers an acute portrayal of diversities and similarities in esthetics and politics in contemporary poetry. It is unique in the way it invites readers' interactions from beginning to end--through adroit editorial comments, the breadth of poets' poems and statements, and critical prose. The wealth of lineages in American poetry continues to emerge.--Linda Russo, author of Counter-Desecration: A Glossary for Writing Within the Anthropocene
