So essentially you're looking for crap. Tom Send a noteboard - 04/04/2015 01:34:14 AM

There was absolutely nothing of value written in terms of Latin poetry by women. I don't even know of a woman who wrote poetry in Latin. In fact, the only Latin women writers I'm aware of AT ALL are Egeria and Aetheria of pilgrimage fame, Heloise of Abelard and Heloise, Hrothsvitha and Hildegard of Bingen. Full stop.

Any English-language poetry of any note you're most likely already aware of. Hell, any Latin poetry of any note you're most likely already aware of. Learn another language and you will have a chance to read something worthwhile that you don't already know, rather than scraping the shit off the bottom of the barrel of poetry.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I'm actually pretty ignorant of the corpus of English poetry. - 05/04/2015 12:27:26 AM 584 Views
Then just buy the Norton Anthology and figure out which poets you like. - 06/04/2015 01:20:12 AM 696 Views
