Research was quite difficult due to the scarcity of available information on these women. Had I elected to study male poets I would have been overwhelmed with information. Any recognition we can give to these extraordinary women is well overdue.

As the author of a bilingual poetry book, entitled,<b>TOO HOT FOR THE SHELF/ TROP CHAUD POUR L’ÉTAGÈRE</b>, I encourage everyone to express their ideas in some artistic way.Felicia Jameshttp://www.2hot4theshelf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083730.post-79317773521715714572009-07-25T15:15:41.596+02:002009-07-25T15:15:41.596+02:00great idea this blog

It's so skewed it's bizarre and can only give a bad name to French poetry. It makes me wonder who these people are... It makes me wonder why I bother listening to them...<BR/><BR/>There's also the question of how these people got their reputations. I've just found out that Anna de Noailles, for example, was a princess and a comtesse. Nothing wrong in that I guess, but the fact that she is almost the sole female voice of a generation of french poets is quite dispiriting. How representative is she after all?<BR/><BR/>Lisa - Thanks for your comments. Yes, Gary Geddes' anthology of Canadian poets is a really good book. I like Joyce Mansour's poetry so you may be seeing more of that in future.Jonathan Wonhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09862200571016427320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083730.post-1143058189001937392006-03-22T21:09:00.000+01:002006-03-22T21:09:00.000+01:00great survey! am glad my old prof gary geddes' boo...great survey! am glad my old prof gary geddes' book did well; sadly unsurprised re. french anthologies. thanks for the info, though--good to be reminded. by the way, really like your translation of joyce mansour's poem.Lisa Pasoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058136497359378141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083730.post-1143041864222861002006-03-22T16:37:00.000+01:002006-03-22T16:37:00.000+01:00Dispiriting news, of course,but then uncomfortable...Dispiriting news, of course,but then uncomfortable awareness is often the first step toward change.
