"Oi minun satulinnani, sortukaa, sortukaa kultaiseksi soraksi. Rakastan teitä liian paljon – kuolkaa. Rakennan teidät jälleen vavisten surmatakseni teidät – liian ihanat." Edith Södergranin runot vievät lukijat unenomaiseen mielentilaan, jossa kaikki ei ole sitä, miltä näyttää. Kohtalokkaat runot julistavat symboliikan avulla väkeviä tunteita. Kokoelman kantavia teemoja ovat naiset, heidän välisensä sisaruus ja elämän läpi kantava ystävyys.

For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views, have lain too long in the shadows of our culture. Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. For the female poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere.

In this volume of fifty poems our classic poets delve with storied verse into every facet of this institution. From the good, the bad and even the ugly, from the Wedding day to the realisation that divorce and separation maybe the better path. Between these two frontiers other avenues and facets are explored by the pens of many including Shakespeare, Khalil Gibran, Emily Dickinson and the Rossetti’s.

February - the second month of the year in the Gregorian calendar brings not only the shortest month but, for lovers everywhere, Valentine's Day. On this and other themes, our poets, including Nesbit, Teasdale, and Coleridge, have much to say.

The horror of the male experience during World War One was well documented in poetry, memoir, and fiction throughout the 20th century. Women's voices of despair, endurance and anger, however, have often been forgotten. These poems of political fury, widowed brides, industry undertaken, and sons and friends loved and lost, give a heartbreaking insight into the experience of women throughout World War One.
