Poetry by Women in Ireland by Lucy Collins

Poetry by Women in Ireland by Lucy Collins

This rich anthology challenges the assumption that little poetry of note was written by women in Ireland during the period 1870-1970, revealing the range of their achievement and the lasting value of their work. The collection includes more than one hundred and eighty poems by fifteen women of diverse backgrounds, experiences and creative aims.

Reviews'This is a strong, serious and necessary bookIt sets out a hitherto hidden history of poetry, 'an unsuspected lane leading / Into the unimaginable', written by women in Ireland across two centuries, contradicting the received narrative of Irish poetry.'
John Mcauliffe
'[...] there is much here that will be fresh to readers or is made new by its juxtaposition with contrasting writers. ...Poetry by Women in Ireland provides an invaluable opportunity to reassess our understanding of Irish literature's history and its present.'
