What is "wom-po"

The Discussion of Women's Poetry List-serv, known as WOM-PO or WOMPO, is an international listserv devoted to the discussion of poetry by women. WOM-PO was started in December 1997 by poet Annie Finch. The listserv is currently housed at Nassau Community College. It has over 12,000 members, with the majority of members from the United States, the U.K. Australia, and New Zealand. Discussion on the listserv has sparked numerous conference panels, poetry readings, poetic collaborations, and journal publications, some spin-off lists, and an anthology, Letters to the World: Poems from the Wom-Po Listserv, published in 2008 by Red Hen Press.
