News at Eleven (Back Page): Some time has passed since

the literary world has seen a Jewish lesbian poetry anthology. The previous two--"Nice Jewish Girls" (Persephone Press, 1982) and "The Tribe of Dina" (Beacon Press, 1989)--included both poetry and essays, and covered more generational ground than "Milk and Honey," which features only poetry, and a majority of the poets are on the younger side. This is not to say that "Milk and Honey" lacks age diversity, but that it set out specifically to publish contemporary poets (no Adrienne Rich or Gertrude Stein) who represent a particular range of experience unique to Jewish lesbians of this generation.
