Poethead, a poetry blog

Poethead is a blog about women's writing. Its themes are, the peneliopad,'web-weaving, women's work, and how words play. It collates and gathers image and word in an attempt to increase the searchable visibility and presence of women workers in song and verse. Also discussed on the site are women editors and translators. The site is now four years old and enjoying regular traffic.

The kernel of the Poethead blog is based in promoting and discussing women poets, editors, writers and translators.

From the About Page of Poethead : Poethead came about as a result of my lack of ability to access many women writers or indeed adequate translations of my favourite poets ; an academic and historic lack which is not readily acknowledged here in Ireland. Ideally I want this blog to be a place for integrating my influences and reading from multiple sources, including sound, outsider poetry, Youtube, archival sources and best of all poetry books.

Poethead/an chinnfile is interested in increasing the dissemination of women's cultural voices on Wikipedia through posting brief introductions to the poets, their books and websites."
