Book Description
The work of women poets is often overlooked in anthologies, and collections of love poetry are no exception. This collection shows that on the subject of romantic and sexual love women can be just as eloquent as men - sometimes on the same themes, but often voicing different opinions and emotions - men rarely if ever wax lyrical on the subject of their fragility for example.
Book Description
"Editor Leslea Newman has collected the work of both well-known and emerging poets, some of them published here for the first time to create an anthology of some of the finest writers of any gender or sexual orientation writing poetry today." "These poets have written daring confessions of love, sorrow, anger, and joy. Each poem is an elaborate confirmation of the resilience of the human spirit, and the ability to transform experience - including the struggle against the societal taboo of same-sex love - into brilliant poetry."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
This 1999 book offers an original study of lyric form and social custom in the Elizabethan age. Ilona Bell explores the tendency of Elizabethan love poems not only to represent an amorous thought, but to conduct the courtship itself. Where studies have focused on courtiership, patronage and preferment at court, her focus is on love poetry, amorous courtship, and relations between Elizabethan men and women. The book examines the ways in which the tropes and rhetoric of love poetry were used to court Elizabethan women (not only at court and in the great houses, but in society at large) and how the women responded to being wooed, in prose, poetry and speech. Bringing together canonical male poets and women writers, Ilona Bell investigates a range of texts addressed to, written by, read, heard or transformed by Elizabethan women, and charts the beginnings of a female lyric tradition.

Book Description
These are included for comparison, along with all the prefatory material provided in Caribbeana, the collection from the Barbados Gazette published in 1741. Fewer than half of the poems have been reprinted since that date, and the aim of the edition is to open them up to a wider audience."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
In this, the first sustained feminist analysis of Yeats, Elizabeth Butler Cullingford resituates his love poems in their cultural and historical context. Yeats himself said that when he started to write verse, "no matter how I begin, it becomes love poetry." Cullingford argues that the politics of sexuality are at the heart of his creative enterprise. From the early lyrics prompted by his frustrated love for Maud Gonne through later works such as "Leda and the Swan," "Among School Children," and the Crazy Jane sequence, she traces the complex intersections between history, aesthetics, and desire. Cullingford shows how women's demand for emancipation brought pressure to bear on the conventions of love poetry, which idealize woman as an aesthetic object; and how Yeats's revision of these formal conventions modifies his idea of the Irish nation, which has traditionally been represented as female. Yeats described himself as "a man of my time, through my poetical faculty living its history": his love poetry bears the impress of the shifting balance of sexual power and the struggle to define a postcolonial Irish identity.
