A Formal Feeling Comes: Poems in Form by Contemporary Women

by Annie Finch

A Formal Feeling Comes: Poems in Form by Contemporary Women Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A started Library Journal review: "This wonderful collection celebrates the New Formalism being practiced by many highly regarded contemporary women poets ... Highly recommended". This unique and ground-breaking anthology also includes statements by the poets explaining why they write formal verse. Adopted by universities nationwide and well into a second printing.

Book News Annotation:

Not the drab and crabbed prosody of the New Formalism, but powerful, exciting, and fiercely original examples by 60 women poets-- including Rita Dove, Marilyn Hacker, Maxine Kumin, Sonia Sanchez, May Sarton, Mona Van Duyn, and Anne Waldman--of how to appropriate the traditions of literary form for the contemporary poetry project. Published by Story Line Press, 3 Oaks Farm, Brownsville, OR 97327.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

A collection of more than 40 poems including brief critical statements by each poet and concise critical mini-essays on the poetry of each poet. Finch examines the course of 20th century poetry by American women, exploring the strain of male dominance that submerged more than two generations of women writers.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 6) and index.
