IMAGES OF WOMEN
Here is an extract from the editors' introduction:
We have aimed to reflect women's aspirations not only in the contents of the anthology but in the way we solicited material and let this shape the book. Through advertisements in poetry magazines and by other forms of outreach we invited women poets, including those in the Second Light Network, to submit as much work about women as they wished whether written by themselves or by other living poets writing in English. The response was enormous and we have read many moving, angry, tender, humorous and imaginative poems. The great strength of women's poetry now is its increasing diversity and ambition. In addition to the many personal poems we received a key focus was the social and political status of women.
