Roger, I am uncertain that one such book exists. So much is happening
right now.
The Penguin book of Aust women poets Doug mentioned, if you can get hold
of a copy, certainly, but it has become outdated and needs to be
re-issued in at least four volumes. Some of Aust's most interesting
poets are women poets, amongst that list are Alison Croggin, Jill Jones
( both active on this list) Pam Brown, Susan Hampton and the list goes
on and on. Dorothy Porter's verse novels are worth the price if you are
willing to be challenged in thinking poetics, and after that, does one
book really exist? Sorry, too much happening so cannot be of much help.
Hope this makes sense, my computer monitor has decided the X coordinate
electromagnetic field has failed and until a new monitor arrives, after
the Xmans holidays, I cannot proof read what I have typed.
