Publisher's Synopsis
Without Skin is a remarkable compilation of influential women from all walks of life and whose nationalities encompass a significant portion of the globe. But no matter their background, they all share the respite and voice granted in poetry. A group of women who fight against the inherent patriarchy dominating the world of poetry, from Fiona Sampson, former editor of the Poetry Review; Sheena Blackhall-Middleton, a prize-winning Scottish poet interviewed in her native Scots; to Mimi Khalvati, an Iranian poet and T.S Eliot Prize shortlist nominee.
