Petra Whiteley is an interesting young UK poet, very symbolic and quite European, originally from Czech Republic(?). Gillian Prew is a young Scottish poet, very dark, dense poetry. She is also an academic (philosophy).
Can I also put in a plug for Gig Ryan, the best Oz poetess, since it's women's week.
All 3 write in free verse but Gig Ryan is so intelligent give her a week and she'd be writing in Mandarin.
