Jane asks about models of a "desiring-I" in poetry written by women - my
suggestions - further to Elizabeth's excellent suggestion of Denise Riley -
slightly randomly from different periods:
E B Browning's sonnets?
Mina Loy's Lunar Baedecker
some poems of Gwen Harwood
and more lately, Alice Notley's poems starting with The Descent of Alette,
but particularly in 'Mysteries of Small Houses'
