Yes, but you single yourself out, and not modestly either:
"One of Salt's earliest publications was a very substantial Selected Poems of mine followed by the Companion (ed by Scott Thurston) and then my beautiful Ghost & Other Sonnets. I'm also almost 61 years of age so you'd think I'd qualify for Tony's list below more than some he mentions but no - it's all blokes."
Are there no other women also with "substantia"l selected poems" and other works that are also "beautiful" you could have mentioned by name? Just asking.

I'm sure I meant 'other women' otherwise I wouldn't have written 'other
women'. Does that answer your question?

Are you sure Geraldine that you do mean all other women or just yourself
being left out of the list Tony made? Just asking.

Aw alright Tony I'll forgive you even though you start off by saying you'd
forgotten my Selected! But it is a point worth making every so often about
the way women are so often not included on roll-calls in Britain. The
accusation of gloating wasn't directed towards you, apologies if I gave you
that impression but for others who seem extremely harsh and cynical towards
Chris and Jen who worked their socks off to make Salt what it was/is.
Aw Randolph - it was inevitable - I couldn't help but laugh!!
