Ann Menebroker is an American poet. She is recognized as one of the leading women writers of the no apologies offered and none needed male dominated "Meat Poets". Menebroker has been a poet since the late 1950s. She is the author of over twenty poetry collections (in addition to broadsides) and her work has appeared in dozens of anthologies, including The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. She also appeared in the documentary, "I Began To Speak", produced by former Sacramento State graduate students B.L. Kennedy and Linda Thorell.
A staggering collection of excellent poets who were active in Sacramento, California in the mid 1980s. I moved to Sacramento after reading it, and many of the poets became my friends.
