Summary

"Innovative women poets contains fourteen full-length literary interviews with experimental poets of the last forty years, enhanced with a selection of their poems and prefaced by short introductions. By giving us each poet's own voice in a medium other than poetry, the interviews provide important cultural and historical contexts that contribute to a fuller understanding of innovation."--BOOK JACKET.
