Review # 1 was written on 2007-11-29 00:00:00 Spiridione Mifsud Ask any female poet whether she considers herself a woman first or a poet first. For some, the answer is a simple one or the other. For others, the question is difficult to answer. And if you ask a female poet how the literary tradition of other female poets has influenced her writing, you'll get as many different answers as there are poets. The latter question was posed to 22 contemporary female poets by Sharon Bryan, who compiled the respondents' essays into the collection Where We Stand: Women Poets on Literary Tradition. This collection of insights into the creative process of these poets proves that you cannot pigeonhole poets based on gender. Read more at

Review # 2 was written on 2015-11-18 00:00:00 Rob Pienta Where We Stand: Women Poets on Literary Tradition ed. by Sharon Bryan I bought this book for $.50 on the street. It was copywrighted in 1993. If I were a poetry teacher, it would be part of my course syllabus. I think that the discussion that these emminent poets have about our literary tradition, covering all viewpoints is inspiring and educational. While I certainly disagreed with some viewpoints, and while some of the entries were entirely too textbook for poets to be writing, as a female writer, I found it driving me to write and create on a daily basis.
