This book is a collection of women poets whose work developed within an all female workshop meeting for a consistent period of time. The books presents not only their work in their completed poems, but their experiences of how their poetry and their lives were changed by their intense communication and reciprical support within the workshop setting. Very different voices emerge in this text, some witty, some ghosts from the past, some haunted or haunting. Overall, the work in this book is very strong. All the women have carved out their own styles, so it's interesting to hear in their own voices how their peers helped them come to these final poems. Anyone interested in writing in groups or starting a workshop should read this book.
