Reviews
Praise for I Wouldn't Thank You for a Valentine
"This excellent volume features the work of women, known and unknown, from around the world . . . Buy this book for someone who thinks she doesn't like poetry."—The Bloomsbury Review
"These are witty, sophisticated, non-messagey poems. They are angry, funny, tender, dramatic, full of surprise and conflict and self-mockery. Candid about failure and betrayal, they play with language, role, and stereotype . . . [They] open up the range of love and family."—Booklist (starred review)
