Right on Marjorie! Esp re women & "Language". The steps in Oz however are still tentative at best. But the main interest is from women and this makes sense given the potential links between the "specific" construction of a radical poetics and late second-wave feminism. Post-feminism is not really part of the discourse in Australia yet (in any practical way that is). Given the Howard right wing govt even tokenism has gone out the door... I was interested to read that Andrea Dworkin states Akhmatova as her "closest companion" re poetry. She notes "Howl" as the High School equivalent. Best JK P.S. Keston's point re "o of e" is a good one. Caroline is in the States (or Canada) at the moment so out of range of her email. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
