About This Book

"In this critical study, Lesley Wheeler argues for a women's tradition in American lyric poetry characterized by figures of enclosure. She examines how six dissimilar yet interconnected poets employ this idiom: Emily Dickinson, Marianne Moore, H. D., Gwendolyn Brooks, Elizabeth Bishop, and Rita Dove."--BOOK JACKET.
