- Summary
- In an insightful and provocative juxtaposition, Margaret Dickie examines the poetry of three preeminent women writers -- Gertrude Stein, Elizabeth Bishop, and Adrienne Rich -- investigating the ways in which each attempts to forge a poetic voice capable of expressing both public concerns and private interests. Although Stein, Bishop, and Rich differ by generation, poetic style, and relationship to audience, all three are twentieth-century lesbian poets who struggle with the revelatory nature of language. All three, argues Dickie, uses language to express and to conceal their experiences as they struggle with a censorship that was both culturally sanctioned and self-imposed. By analyzing each poet's work in light of the shared themes of love, war, and place, Dickie makes visible a continuity of interests between these three rarely linked women. In their very diversity of style and strategy, she argues, lies a triumph of the creative imagination, a victory of poetry over polemic. -- From publisher's description.
