Letters to the World: Women, Poetry, and Community
Apr 14, 2009
A reading and talk on poetry, peace, and an
international Internet collaboration
by Rosemary Starace
From Red Hen Press: Letters to the World is the first anthology of its kind- a feminist collaboration born from The Discussion of Women's Poetry LISTSERV (Wom-Po), a vibrant, inclusive electronic community founded in 1997 by Annie Finch. With an introduction by D'Arcy Randall and brief essays by the poets themselves reflecting on the history and spirit of the listserv, the book presents a rich array of viewpoints and poems. Letters to the World is a remarkable example of how the Internet has radically rearranged associations among poets, editors and readers. Includes 259 contributors from 19 countries and 5 continents.
