Summary: Women for Women Poets
Comment: If you liked this book I sugjest you check out Aliki's own work and for that matter her fathers. If you would like a compleate list of that work go to Barnstones.com. She is a wonderful poet and you will find that some of her inspiration comes from the poets in "A Book of Women Poets from Antiquity to Now". Her brother also writes wonderful poetry I recomend "Impure" by her brother. "Madly in Love" is her great work. I would suppose her book from her childhood is also wonderful. I look forward to more of her work.

Summary: what a find!
Comment: This is one of my favorite poetry anthologies because it covers such a wide expanse of time and includes women's voices from all over the world. This anthology has introduced me to so many women poets that I otherwise never would have met. It is incredible to realize that women have ALWAYS and everywhere been writing, and I am always inspired by the tradition of my mothers when I read this book. As Sappho said, "Someone, I tell you/ will remember us."

Summary: Wonderful Resource!
Comment: This is my all-time favorite anthology; I give it as a gift whenever I can. I like the idea of presenting voices that have not always gotten the attention they deserve, but even more than that I am amazed at the the sheer range of genius. There's hardly a dud in here.
I particularly love the translation of Marina Tsveteyeva's "Poem of the End." The punctuation so accurately reflects the language and tone. I once saw another translation in one of those "Best Loved Poems of Insipid People" anthologies that was painfully stupid. I wish I could read the Russian original....
Anyway, I can't think of a better resource to introduce you to a wide range of poets you might not otherwise have access to.
