Parents: An Anthology of Poems by Women Writers

by Various, Myra Schneider (Editor), Dilys Wood (Editor)

Parents includes poems about the writers' mothers, fathers, or both – their lives and their attitudes. Some of the poems celebrate good relationships, others explore complex or damaging ones. There are poems about parents ageing and some about the reactions to their deaths. More specifically, a few of the writers focus on the experiences of parents (some of them refugees) in World War Two and in subsequent conflicts. The poems, by such writers as Jane Duran, U.A. Fanthorpe, Dorothy Nimmo, Carole Satyamurti, Anne Stevenson and Susan Wicks, are in a variety of styles and angry, loving, reflective, conversational, passionate, humorous.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
