 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.1.4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

 Contemporary Irish Women Poets — www.greenwood.com
Contemporary Irish Women Poets: Some Male Perspectives is a worthy contribution to a critical discussion deserving more book-length studies....Alexander Gonzalez's thought-provoking collection of essays is valuable not only because it offers fresh critical perspectives, but also because it will undoubtedly draw more readers to some of the most original and exciting poets of our time.
Many women also point to the treatment these poets receive in various anthologies, which typically include only token portions of literature written by women.
In his pioneering effort, Gonzalez helps establish the place of these contemporary women poets in the Irish literary canon, corrects the popular misconception that male critics are unresponsive to their works, and encourages further exploration of Irish women poets by male scholars and critics.
