'Feminists are humans aware of a common pressure upon their lives. For poets, that awareness is of course felt and conveyed through language. How they observe, undo and reset language is crucial to the poetic act, if it is to have more than sentimental or decorative effect. There is a line from an early British feminist anthology: Feminists have to be more conscious than Anyone else' (Mohin, 5) This might be why poetry continues to be such and active site of feminist question, because it's where the medium of our consciousness is most pressurised and the illusion of 'nature' falls away.'
