The Top 10 Poets - The 20th Century - The Women: Five poems each from some of the best female poets born in the 20th Century

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives.
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy.

In this volume we explore poets of such fame and ability that, set against, arguably the most chaotic of centuries, poetry rises to yet new heights in its exploration and dissection of society and the human condition.
