Isle Of Lesbos: Poetry Of Wu Tsao
This page includes a brief biography and a small selection of poems.
http://www.sappho.com/poetry/wu_tsao.html

Extractions: 19th Century Wu Tsao was born sometime around 1800; her year of birth and death are uncertain. She was the daughter of a merchant and married a merchant herself. Her experiences with these men were not positive and she sought out the company of women, as friends and as lovers. She wrote erotic poems to courtesans, creating unashamed lyric passages full of the sweetness of yearning. She was China's great lesbian poet, and she was popular while she lived, her songs sung throughout China. Her poetry dealt with a variety of topics, unlike other women poets of her time. This versatility, combined with casual style and personal tone, probably contributed to her popularity. Later in life, Wu Tsao moved to seclusion and became a Taoist priestess. tz'u poets of the Ching (Manchu) Dynasty. Given the quality of Wu Tsao's work and her history, it is disturbing to find that her name rarely appears in Western profiles of poets, and she is not included in literary discussions of the lesbian poetic tradition.

Sappho and Alcaeus (flourished in the 42 Olympiad (612-609 B.C.) were both contemporaries, natives of Mytilene on Lesbos, and aristocrats affected by local power struggles, but beyond that, they had little in common except the most important: lyric poetry. In explanation for their remarkable gift, it was said that when Orpheus was torn to pieces by the Thracian women, his head and lyre were carried to and buried on Lesbos.

Isle Of Lesbos: Poetry Of Amy Lowell
Poet and a prolific correspondent of the late eighteenth century.
http://www.sappho.com/poetry/a_seward.html

Extractions: Anna Seward was a poet and a prolific correspondent of the late eighteenth century. She was the daughter of Thomas Seward, the canon of Lichfield, and Elizabeth Hunter. Elizabeth died and left Thomas a widoweran event that left Anna without a mother but with the freedom not to marry. As the eldest daughter, it was her responsibility to care for her father, and so she stayed at Lichfield and tended to him through senility. When he died, she was in her forties, and no longer under any social obligation to marry. As she was quite outspoken in her opinions of marriage (openly criticizing popular guidebooks for women that purported any marriage as preferable to none) the inability to marry young does not seem to have been a problem for her. Anna was well-educated, known for her lively, generous nature and her unconventional ideas. She was educated at home, and read French, Italian, and Latin. Lichfield was one of the major provincial literary centers of the 18th century, and hers was a literary household. She began writing poetry young, publishing in periodicals and circulating her poems among friends. Her style of verse was more conventional than her ideas, tending toward the enthusiastic and sentimental. She wrote many poems commemorating events and celebrating special places, and she is best known for these, as well as for her elegies. But another important topic to her was love, passionately expressed but always cast as friendship, and often directed toward Honora Sneyd.

The stations were many, but I didn't bargain for the Orient Express not stopping at them. And here we are at Venice for ten minutes only, a wretched time in which to try and write. No time to buy an Italian stamp even, so this will have to go from Trieste. The waterfalls in Switzerland were frozen into solid iridescent curtains of ice, hanging over the rock; so lovely. And Italy all blanketed in snow. We're going to start again. I shall have to wait till Trieste tomorrow morning. Please forgive me for writing such a miserable letter. V.

ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY V4N2
Poor sappho! She is so often in the position of the one different member of the group sappho is The Woman. We cannot help interrogating her this way;
http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/ElAnt/V4N2/scodel.html

Extractions: The author, herself a poet, looks to Sappho for more than Sappho can provide. Women poets and lesbians can hardly avoid romanticizing and idealizing Sappho; she is not just the representative Woman, she is our originary myth. Sappho does not seems to worry about how she can be a woman and a poet. Nothing in her surviving corpus indicates that she had to struggle to achieve her voice or that her poetic role was socially exceptional. On the contrary, she seems completely at ease with her own poetic authority. Certainly in some of her most famous works, such as the Priamel Poem, she defines her erotic values and the poetry that celebrates them against other values and other poetic genres, particularly epic. While Archilochus may similarly define his poetry in opposition to epic, Sappho's position has a special resonance, because it echoes the way epic (and presumably the wider culture) assigns gender roles: war, Homer says, is a concern for men, not women; so when Sappho claims that sights of war are less beautiful that the object of a person's erotic longing, she calls on gendered categories. Still, gender is not the only category at work. Perhaps if the remains were less fragmentary, it would be easier to identify what is gendered in Sappho's song - but perhaps not.
Isle Of Lesbos: Poetry Of Aphra Behn
Brief biographical information, the texts of two poems, and links to further resources.
http://www.sappho.com/poetry/a_behn.html

Extractions: Aphra Behn ( 33k JPG image ), alleged by Vita Sackville-West to be the first women in England to earn a living as a writer, is a bit of a mystery. Little is known about her backgroundwho her parents were and where she was bornbut the details of her life that are known paint the portrait of an intriguing woman. Aphra lived for a time in Surinam, an experienced that inspired her first novel, Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave (1688). She was married for a short time and widowed at age 25. She secured employment as a spy for King Charles II and was sent to Belgium in this capacity. The King refused to pay her return trip, however, and after borrowing the funds to return, she was thrown into debtor's prison. After leaving prison, Aphra worked hard to make sure she was always capable of supporting herself. She became a successful London playwright and then a novelist. She wrote poetry, feeling that this form allowed her to express her "masculine" side. Aphra's opinions were unconventional, and because she openly expressed her viewpoints in her lifestyle and through her writing, she was seen as scandalous. Her poetry remarks on romantic relationships with both men and women, discusses rape and impotence, puts forth a woman's right to sexual pleasure, and includes scenes of eroticism between men.

http://members.aol.com/matrixwerx/glbthistory/sappho.htm

Extractions: Sappho Sappho was a Greek poetess and teacher at a girls school on the Island of Lesbos during the 6th century B.C. The exact dates of her birth and death are unknown. Her lyric poetry was so exquisite that Plato called her the "tenth muse." Much of her poetry was about both the ecstasy and pain of love, which was virtually unknown in poetry until that time. She also wrote hymns of praise to the Greek Goddesses, particularly Aphrodite. Not much is known about Sappho's life, and only a few of her works remain. Early translators, disturbed that many of her passionate love poems were addressed to adolescent girls, simply changed their gender in translation to fit their world view. Sappho's books were burned by Christians in 380 A.D. at the insistance of Pope Gregory Nazianzen. The rest of her works may have been destroyed in 1073 A.D. when Pope Gregory VII ordered another book burning. In Sappho's only complete surviving poem she asks the Goddess Aphrodite to help her win the heart of a reluctant young lady: O immortal Aphrodite of the many-colored throne
Isle Of Lesbos: Poetry Of Edna St. Vincent Millay
Five poems.
http://www.sappho.com/poetry/e_millay.html

Extractions: Edna St. Vincent Millay, twentieth-century poet and playwright, was best known for her lyrical poetry. She wrote many poems in traditional sonnet form, on topics such as love, fidelity, erotic desire, and feminist issues. What isn't as widely publicized is that she also acknowledged herself as bisexual and had many affairs with women before her marriage. It's not clear if she continued sexual involvements with women after marriage (though it is quite possible), nor is it clear which of her poems are written about women rather than men. She grew up in a different sort of familypast the age of seven, her father wasn't present, as her mother (Cora) asked him to leave. Cora was a nurse who encouraged Millay (called Vincent by her close friends) and her sisters in musical and literary pursuits. Millay was brought up to be self-sufficient and was taught that ambition was good, an upbringing reflected in her accomplishments of later years. At her mother's encouragement, Millay entered her poem "Renascence" into a poetry contest and won fourth placed. When the poem was published, she gained literary recognition and earned a scholarship to Vassar. At Vassar, she continued to write poetry and became involved in theater. In 1922 one of her plays

Extractions: page: The earliest woman writer whose work survives and the most famous, Sappho has been admired throughout the ages. To the ancients, she needed no introduction: She was known simply as the poetess, the female equivalent to Homer, the poet. She was so esteemed by her compatriots that her portrait graced the coins of her native Lesbos. The Importance of Sappho She was admired by male poets such as Baudelaire, A. C. Swinburne, and Ezra Pound as the greatest of lyric poets; by female poets like Natalie Barney, Amy Lowell, and H.D. as the font of their poetic tradition. Sponsor Message. To lesbians around the world today, she is the archetypal lesbian and their symbolic mother. Although Sappho was the sole woman to be admitted to the canon of the nine great lyric poets in antiquity, she was the only one of them to attain mythic status when Plato first elevated her to the rank of the Muses. She is the only ancient author to have become the stuff of legend: She was a popular subject for Greek art from the sixth and fifth century B.C.E. onward, she was presumably the subject of the six different Greek comedies entitled
