Not a Muse: The Inner Lives of Women

Not a Muse
The inner lives of women, a world poetry anthology
Kate Rogers & Viki Holmes, editors
"Creator, lover, freedom fighter, explorer, home maker, myth maker... As this stimulating selection of poems proves, there is no such thing as an average woman-a notion upon which we might all care to muse."
- Stephen McCarty, Literary Editor, South China Morning Post

A bold, richly panoramic anthology of poetry from all over the world, exploring the inner lives of women in a post-feminist era. 516 pages of poetic delight by voices both celebrated and newly uncovered. Poetry to Seduce the Senses: Not A Muse was launched on the opening night of the Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival, on International Women's Day, 8 March 2009.
