In this collection of essays, 21 contemporary women poets reflect on their particular relationship to literary tradition. The approaches taken are as diverse as the backgrounds of the authors who represent several generations of contemporary writers. They include Eavan Boland's essay in which she explores her roots as an Irish poet, Maxine Kumin's consideration of her generation's shaping context, and Amy Clampitt's account of her decision to become a poet. Other contributors include Dadeline DeFrees, Alicia Ostriker and Anne Stevenson. Despite the common threads in the experience of these women, there is no clear concensus: "Where We Stand" represents a plurality of voices, not a chorus.
