'Twelve delightful interviews with contemporary Australian women poets transcending its national boundaries with a variety of insights into the nature of poetics and women's traditions. The interviews address topics in the art and process of writing, influences, poetic development, critical reception, and complex aesthetic, cultural, and political relationships including writing and gender. Each interview focuses on a topic relevant to that poet e.g. Dorothy Hewett discusses autobiographical poetry, Diane Fahey talks about mythological revision, and Antigone Kefala delves into multiculturalism.'
