This is a query. I am compiling (still) a course packet for a course
exclusively about "hilarious poetry" -- and I have a problem: I would like
to have at least *half* the poets represented be women. At present, I've
50 poets in the course packet, only 13 of whom are women. Could anyone
please suggest to me the names of *extremely funny* women poets? I don't
just mean "comic": I mean *drop-dead funny*. These are the women I have
in the packet so far:
Wanda Coleman
Gertrude Stein
Joan Jobe Smith
Nada Gordon
Bernadette Mayer
Wendy Cope
Mairead Byrne
Stephanie Sallaska
Denise Duhamel
Marianne Moore
Anne Waldman
Amy Gerstler
Rachel Loden
If anyone wishes to suggest her own work, please do. I am, as usual, in
earnest. Any help would be appreciated.
Gabe
