Anthology of edgy poetry by Eloise Bruce, Carolyn Foote Edelmann, Lois Marie Harrod, Betty Lies, Joyce Greenberg Lott, Judy Michaels, Penelope Scambly Schott. "The Cool Women revel in the sensual interplay between the distinct forms a poem can take and the emotional urgency that makes poetry such a compelling art. The joy of this book is that very different hands create poems that are notable for their passionate intelligence. The variety of the poems is a pleasure; so is their integrity," says Baron Wormser. The volume is divided into "Cool Women Talk Woman Talk," " Cool Women in the Landscape" and "Cool Women Sing the Body Electric." In each section the poets explore in 7 very different voices life and death and all that is between.
