Women's Poetry in France, 1965-1995

As the first North American anthology of French women s poetry ever published, Women s Poetry in France, 19651995 can radically open and alter our perception of recent French poetry. Michael Bishop s translations capture the distinctive voices of these twenty-eight poets, including such well-known writers as Anne-Marie Albiach, Andree Chedid, and Marguerite Duras, as well as others who had been unjustly neglected even in their own country. Bishop s translations free the poems themselves to justify their place, not only in this bilingual volume but also in the realm of international poetry."
