An Anthology of Poetry by Women

Written By Linda Rosewood

Women’s Poetry Anthology cover

A while back I heard about a guy in New York with a call for submissions to a women’s poetry anthology. My friends and I used to make these all the time in the 1980s. Recently, Editor Lancelot Schubert used a market analysis tool and saw there were no anthologies of poetry by women, and felt a need.

So he has published this little book, small enough to fit in your bag, but full of really, really great poems. Even the ones I don’t care for I can see that they are good poems. I have three poems in it. After five poets never responded to his contract, he filled the space by asking for submissions of public domain poetry. I sent in a 1922 poem by Elsa Gidlow, one of her finest. You can tell when you read it, it’s a young lesbian’s poem.
