Tribute to Feminist Poets
__________
Jessy Randall: “The first poem I ever published was about pantyhose. It appeared in a feminist literary journal called The Unforgettable Fire in 1992. I don’t know if feminist poetry makes much difference in the world, but I can’t write any other kind.” Note: Illustrations are from The English Duden: A Pictorial Dictionary with English and German Indexes. London: George G. Harrap, 1960. (website)
