Review: Wild Nights: Heart Wisdom from Five Women Poets

Wild Nights: Heart Wisdom from Five Women Poets Wild Nights: Heart Wisdom from Five Women Poets by Sappho
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Wild Nights is a collection of poetry that brings together some of the classics, including Sappho, Emily Dickinson, Amy Lowell and more. This collection includes a snapshot of work from each of the five poets, mostly what they wrote on the topics of love and desire.

While I like the idea of collecting women poets together to create a fierce collection, this title is a little lacking. It seems like it could have been expanded to include many more female poets (because what poet hasn't written about love a desire?). Considering many people may not have read all of these poets, it's a great start--something that a person new to poetry may want to check out.
