Amy Lowell Volgorde van de boeken

Tři ženy z přelomu devatenáctého a dvacátého století, které psaly ženám, představují různé poetiky a osudy v této sbírce básní, přeložené a doplněné krátkým doslovem Sylvy Ficové a Anny Štičkové, s ilustracemi Silvie Vavřinové. Lesbické poezie se často zdá, že současné autorky nemají žádné předchůdkyně kromě antické Sapfó. Avšak motivy sapfického typu nalezneme nejen ve starozákonní knize Rút, ale také v dílech křesťanských mystiček, jako je Hildegarda von Bingen, či u anglické dramatičky Aphry Behn a básnířky Anne Finch. Tento svazek přináší tři americké autorky: výstřední Emily Dickinson, o které se tradovalo, že byla poněkud bláznivá; vášnivou sběratelku knih Amy Lowell, jež se postavila proti Ezra Poundovi tím, že vydala antologie imagistické poezie bez jeho souhlasu; a extrovertní Gertrude Stein, která pořádala salon v Paříži, kam chodili Picasso, Fitzgerald, Hemingway a Matisse. Tato sbírka ukazuje, jak rozmanité a inspirativní byly hlasy žen, které psaly pro ženy v této fascinující éře.
