About this listen

How have women poets approached the question of eros throughout history? This collection explores the poetry of both physical and spiritual longing and fulfillment from ancient Greece to New York's East Village. In 50 poems, more than a dozen women poets express all the facets of desire. Included in this collection are Sappho, Mirabai, Hilda Dolittle [H.D.], Emily Dickinson, Anne Waldman, Olga Broumas, Brenda Coultas, Julie Patton, Eleni Sikélianòs, and Marina Tsvetayeva, as well as Pulitzer Prize-winners Jorie Graham, Mary Oliver, and Anne Sexton.
