First Edition

[LGBTQ] Amazon Poetry: An Anthology of Lesbian Poetry edited by Elly Bulkin and Joan Larkin. New York: Tower Press, 1975. First edition, Second printing. Tan soft cover wrappers with red titling. Octavo. 110 pages total. The prefatory note describes the anthology as "...a book of poems that show the scope and intensity of lesbian experience...The poems convey both private joy and pain and humor, and a larger context of racial, economic, and social inequality". Significant lesbian authors are featured within the anthology, including Audre Lorde's "To My Daughter a Junkie on a Train" and Rita Mae Brown's "Sappho's Reply". The poetry surfaces the multifaceted nature of lesbian life, eloquently exploring themes of "growing up, sisterhood, sexuality, family, motherhood, work, dying, Myth, Racism, Old age, war, ritual". A consequential anthology of lesbian poetry, this book is in very good condition. Front cover mildly foxed, otherwise this book is in very good condition.
