Making for Planet Alice: New Women Poets - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Why do we need another anthology of poetry solely by women? Several different groups of women writers emerged over the past thirty years who pioneered, fought to be published, reflected on subject-matter previously thought ‘inappropriate’ and who blazed into our consciousness with a train of glorious transgressions. Now here is a group of new writers from Britain and Ireland who’ve absorbed and developed the recent legacies of other women poets. All thirty published their first collections during the past ten years. These are poets of the moment, writing with an energy, inventiveness and intelligence fit for the 21st century. They pay no attention to the restrictions of this universe. They’re Making for Planet Alice. Prepare to be transported. The contributors to this anthology are Moniza Alvi, Eleanor Brown, Siobhán Campbell, Kate Clanchy, Tessa Rose Chester, Julia Copus, Jane Duran, Gillian Ferguson, Janet Fisher, Linda France, Elizabeth Garrett, Lavinia Greenlaw, Vona Groarke, Sophie Hannah, Maggie Hannan, Tracey Herd, Jane Holland, Jackie Kay, Mimi Khalvati, Gwyneth Lewis, Sarah Maguire, Sinéad Morrissey, Ruth Padel, Katherine Pierpoint, Alice Oswald, Deryn Rees-Jones, Anne Rouse, Eva Salzman, Ann Sansom and Susan Wicks.
