Reviews
Things have certainly changed since Emerson. In his time, British authors laid claim to being central to the tradition of poetry in English. Today, it's a rare poet in America who can name an English contemporary (though the same poet probably can name one from that fellow former colony, Ireland). If anything, as this exemplary anthology shows, influence goes the other way: these British women poets could almost pass for American in their vernacular rhythms, their casual conversationality, their gutsy politics. Although this collection is admirable in breadth and scope, more impressive is the number of sheerly excellent individual poems in it: Fleur Adcock's "The Keepsake," a restrained, heart-stopping elegy; Sujata Bhatt's astonishing "Sherdi," with its voluptuous analogy of sex and eating; Eavan Boland's "Night Feed," a moment of fraught domestic peace; Vicki Feaver's erotic "Marigolds," a floral bacchanal, . . . and so many others.
