Something a little different for the third topic, this time we're going with a specific type of writing: poetry! Leave your recs in the comments for awesome female poets, specific poems or volumes, or poetry about the female experience.

Also, I'd like to do at least a few more themes in the rec fest, and I'd like to know what you want to rec. So feel free to leave a comment suggesting a topic, whether or not you have poetry recs.

I'm going to mention Marge Piercy. I haven't read her poetry in years, but hers was the first that made sense to me. I used to be in tears in school trying to understand the poetry they taught and then I stumbled upon her and it all made sense. I still struggle but I'm not reduced to tears anymore.

I'm going to point at Marilyn Hacker, and remind myself I should go back and read her stuff. (Here's a short critical bio and links to readings of a few of her poems.
