100 great poems by women Book

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carolyn Kizer has compiled the second volume in the Golden Ecco Anthology series. This collection is devoted to one hundred of the finest poems written by women. Kizer begins with a woman writing anonymously in the fifteenth century, and takes us up to the present with important contemporary authors such as Marianne Moore, Louise Bogan, Gwendolyn Brooks, Amy Clampitt, Adrienne Rich, Margaret Atwood, Sharon Olds, Louise Gluck, Jorie Graham, and Thylias Moss. This extraordinary anthology also contains major poets such as Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and Gertrude Stein. And there is a generous selection of relatively unknown and wonderfully eccentric poets who wrote in obscurity during the past five hundred years.
