an excellent collection of female poets - it is incredibly expansive in terms of time period and geography - with a range of asian, African and South American poets over a range of time periods to help expose you to poets you are unlikely to have heard of as a western reader.

Great solid poetry! Were definitely some lines that stood out and that I loved. Really enjoyed the historical aspect of the book, reading poems thousands or even hundreds of years old…fascinating. Only critique is that I did feel like some of the poems were maybe mediocre or uninteresting, but that’s no one’s fault, just comes down to personal preference. Great book.

Solid resource but I wish it had in-text citations and not just a list of acknowledged sources.
