F Letter: New Russian Feminist Poetry

F Letter: New Russian Feminist Poetry is a collection of contemporary poetry edited by Galina Rymbu, Eugene Ostashevsky, and Ainsley Morse. It was the first anthology of feminist poetry from Russia in any language.[1] Rymbu, in the introduction to the book, writes that F Letter is “a secret burrow, an island of freedom.”[2] The works are published in both English and Russian, with a foreword by poet Eileen Myles[3] and philosopher Amia Srinivasan.[4]
