Dwelling in Possibility cuts across conventional boundaries between critical and creative writing by featuring the work of both women poets and feminist critics as they explore and exemplify the relationship between gender and poetic genres. The contributors suggest new ways of thinking and writing about poetry in light of contemporary questions about history and identity. Most of the contributions are published here for the first time.
A lovely book.... This anthology is immensely erudite, detailed, precise, and thoughtful.... Every essay in this collection is a solid meal, nothing is skippable or skimmable.
-- Meryl Altman * The Women's Review of Books *The powerful insight of this 370-page collection of women's writing is that the participation of women poets in the public sphere cannot be measured adequately unless feminist genre theory learns how to 'open the borders'—to recognize how generic hybridity has helped to define cultural and political movements and to build connections between academics and other communities, as the book itself exemplifies.
