Feminist poetry is an important, innovative, and highly engaging segment of contemporary poetry. It reflects and reworks the most pressing issues on the feminist agenda today, and does so brilliantly. The authors of this book—a journalist and a literary critic—approach contemporary Russian-language feminist poetry from different perspectives, explaining its origins, where and how to read it. Most importantly, they introduce the poets and their poems. If you don't like poetry, this book is for you: you'll read these poems, and they'll forever change your understanding of poetry. If you love classical poetry, this book is also for you: you'll be surprised and see the world and poetry itself in a new way. If you're interested in feminism, this book will be a welcome outlet and perhaps even inspiration.
