Woodstock, NY: Aesopus Press, 1979. 8vo. Saddle-stapled in printed blue wraps. [28]pp., with photo of author at rear. Very good or better, with light soiling to wraps. Signed, dated, and inscribed by Gottlieb on first page.

A collection of poems reimagining through a feminist lens the inner lives of women from history and mythology, including Heloise, Dido, Cleopatra, Guinevere. Thus echoes of H.D., Angela Carter, etc. Confident writing, and worthy of discovery.
