I wanted to create a 'virtual anthology' of long poems by American women -- something that would be far too expensive and bulky to be useful in print.  However, so far not enough are available on the web in their entirety to make up an anthology that satisfies me.  But there are already so many bits and pieces scattered (and shifting) over the webscape that I can't hope to make this directory comprehensive -- or keep it so… Still, I hope that this preliminary effort gives you a rich sample of the vitality and variety of American women poets' longer works, and makes you want to see more.
