Publisher Notes
In this groundbreaking collection, some of our best contemporary poets contemplate the legacy of the confessional poets such as Plath, Sexton, and Lowell. They also tackle such fiery topics as the nature of authorial responsibility in telling the truth, the focus of self in relation to others and to the natural world, the very essence of craft as transformation, and the role female poets have played in breaking the code of silence.
