A Poem of Her Own: Voices of American Women Yesterday and Today, ed. by Catherine Clinton, illus. by Stephen Alcorn, brings together works from colonial times to the present to convey the unique perspectives of American women, including those of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath, as well as contemporary poets such as Julia Alvarez and Naomi Shihab Nye. An elegant, stylized painting accompanies each work, from a naturalistic scene of Lucy Larcom's ""The Brown Thrush"" to the monumental, geometric portrait of Emma Lazarus's ""The New Colossus"" (the Statue of Liberty); brief biographies describe the featured poets.
