Here’s the list of women poets that I have translated so far (some, many poems; some, only one).
limitation is that they should have been publishing or writing between 1880 and 1930. I have another list of many more poets from the same era – some that I want to translate and expand into a really big book. I will probably put the bios of the poets online. In fact I feel like I could have more of an effect by making Wikipedia pages for all these poets, and by tagging them up. But I would like a book.
The long list (not posted yet) is only a few of the many hundreds of women whose work I’ve seen.
