A beautiful collection of poems to nourish, inspire and change the people who read them.

Here is poetry for those no longer being spoken to but speaking, no longer being looked at but looking, from the contemporary voices of Fiona Benson and Jane Yeh to the evocative imagery of Christina Rossetti, Anna Akhmatova and Emily Dickinson. Even the haunting voices of Sappho, Venmaniputti and Li Qingzhao sing out to us from across the centuries.

These poems span the worlds of desire and care, responsibility and work, family and friends. Their words empower us with strength and courage, fill us with verve and spirit, and inspire creativity and imagination. Here are poems written by women, with women's lives in mind. As Gertrude Stein writes, 'such a sweet singing' is in the poetry that comes to us clear and lovely from out of the dark.

Read these poems aloud. Remember them. Share them.

一本美丽的诗集，滋养、激励和改变阅读它们的人。

这些诗歌是为那些不再是被说的对象，而是说话的发声者，不再是被看的对象，而是正在看的人写的，从菲奥娜·本森（Fiona Benson）和简·叶（Jane Yeh）的当代声音到克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂（Christina Rossetti）、安娜·阿赫玛托娃（Anna Akhmatova）和艾米莉·迪金森（Emily Dickinson）引人深思的意象。还有萨福（Sappho）、文马尼普提（Venmaniputti）和李清照（Li Qingzhao）萦绕在我们耳边的声音跨越了整个世纪。

这些诗歌跨越了欲望和关怀、责任和工作、家庭和朋友的世界。她们的话语赋予我们力量和勇气，让我们充满了活力和精神，并激发了创造力和想象力。这些是妇女写的诗，考虑到了妇女的生活。正如格特鲁德·斯坦恩（Gertrude Stein）所写的那样，“如此甜美的歌声”就在那些从黑暗中向我们走来的清晰而可爱的诗歌中。

大声读这些诗。记住它们。分享它们。
