Last week, Honor Moore, editor of "Poems from the Women's Movement," hosted a poetry reading at Saint Peter's Church in Manhattan--bringing together generations of renowned poets to celebrate the release of the Library of America anthology.

In this video interview, Moore explained how "Male Approval Desire" (or M-A-D) has hobbled women authors. She was joined by Susan Griffin, Toi Derricotte, Joan Larkin, Jean Valentine, Eileen Myles, Fran Winant, and Anne Waldman.

GalleyCat interviewed a number of these poets, getting their thoughts on publishing, feminism, and writing during the recession, including Erica Jong--who talked about the lack of publishing parity.
