by Adrienne Rich

Overview

“Rich’s poetry itself is a mirror, reflecting the truths about humanity this discerning poet has come to understand.”—Booklist

“Rich is one of the greatest American poets of the past half century . . . attested to both by the extraordinary power of her poems and by the laurels she’s racked up. . . . The events of our blood-dimmed decade have afforded Rich a subject for some of her strongest material.”—Sara Marcus, San Francisco Chronicle
