Contemporary Women's Poetry is a unique resource for students, teachers, and anyone interest in contemporary poetry. It offers the opportunity for readers to engage with the work of important figures and issues in contemporary women's poetry from two perspectives: that of poets themselves, and that of literary criticism. The poets discuss their writing practice and the reasons for their poetic strategies, while the literary critics many of whom are also poets themselves contextualise, analyse and situate the work of a wide range of poetry of the most significant women poets of our time in Britain and North America.

Industry Reviews

'This rich collection will become an important resource for a wide range of readers interested in contemporary women's poetry from the UK and Ireland. Alison Mark and Deryn Rees-Jones have managed to bring together poets working from within highly disparate formal, philosophical, and cultural traditions without engineering false unities; as a result, this book sets readers to [c]harting ambiguity, / tending the possibilities in language, as Maggie O'Sullivan puts it in the first section of poets' meditations on the act of writing. It also encourages readers to place its series of fine critical arguments about the seemingly irreconcilable imperatives of contemporary theory and feminist discourse in new angles of proximity to one another, to test their limits and make new intersections while engaged in closely reading the poetry. It presses me into dialogue; I'm grateful for its very valuable promptings and provocations.' - Romana Huk, Associate Professor of English, University of New Hampshire and Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Modern and Contemporary Poetry, Oxford Brookes
