Feisty, bawdy, erotic, and irreverent, The Virago Book of Wicked Verse is a telling commentary on women's ability to transform poetry into a medium of subversiveness.

With poets spanning continents and centuries, this anthology abundantly demonstrates the ways in which women can be "wicked," and willfully so.
