Unaffiliated independent scholar

A literary excavation of lost and forgotten American Women Poets. To compile the primary works of women poets who have published at least one book of poems and to include headnotes about their lives and works. With the emergence of this material, assumptions about the nature of literature by women will have to be re-evaluated.
