The approaches taken are as diverse as the backgrounds of the authors who represent several generations of contemporary writers. They include Eavan Boland's essay in which she explores her roots as an Irish poet, Maxine Kumin's consideration of her generation's shaping context, and Amy Clampitt's account of her decision to become a poet. Other contributors include Dadeline DeFrees, Alicia Ostriker and Anne Stevenson. Despite the common threads in the experience of these women, there is no clear concensus: "Where We Stand" represents a plurality of voices, not a chorus.

Sharon Bryan, poet and editor of River City, wrote to almost eighty women poets asking them how they felt about their particular relationship to literary tradition in her quest to understand and sort out her own confusions on the topic of gender and poetry. This volume of twenty-two essays by women poets is the fruit of that venture. Among topics considered are the childhood experiences that shaped these authors both as writers and as women, to the thoughts on the poets.
