Great for students/Aust lit virgins,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bridgings: Readings in Australian Women's Poetry (Paperback)
Contains a fantastic piece on Dorothy Hewett and revisionist mythologising. In-depth, detailed and thought-provoking chapters on prominent Australian women poets eg JS Harry, Gwen Harwood, etc. Also contains selections of the most "important" (or at least best-known) texts of each poet. A fantastic resource (especially considering the dearth of resources on contemporary Australian poetry, esp. female.) and a great read.
