Reviews:
This gets: a from eryka:
A fabulous collection of women poets, from the very olden days to the present -- or relatively present, at least. It's got some of the well known greats, as well as some women you might not have heard of. A great collection.



From the back cover:

A monument to the literary genius of women throughout the ages, A Book of Women Poets from Antiquity to Now is an invaluable collection. Here in one volume are the works of three hundred poets from six different continents and four millennia. This revised edition includes a newly expanded section of American poets from the colonial era to the present.

eryka.com scale:

So good you just can't stand it.
Almost that good.
Sort of good.
Generally a waste of time.
Destined for the recycler.
