Dull cover, killer contents; DO check this one out,

This review is from: Women's Work: Modern Women Poets Writing in English (Paperback)
I rather laid into the feisty but didactic preface to this chunky tome on am.co.uk. By all means read it, but get stuck in to the main attraction first, an astonishingly wide-ranging (most poets are restricted to one poem) collection of contemporary writing, leavened - or seasoned? - by the dead (7 and counting). Cunningly themed, it starts with love, which can leave us men feeling slightly sidelined - redundant, even - but #3 Family knocked me for six, as we say in England, and I'm not through with it yet. Every poem earns its keep and cumulatively generates a real sense of empowerment; this is a rich feast for poetry tyro and maven alike that will take weeks to absorb.
