Praise for Adrienne Rich

I'm currently teaching a six week course in Adrienne Rich's poetry and this book is excellent. It provides a good selection of her poems, plus significant prose pieces. If students choose to do so, they can read the reviews of her books, some critical essays and an interview. It's limited only in that it doesn't cover her more recent publications.

recognized by some be in top 100--(US) poets

Oct. 5: She is presented with prestigious Lannan Literary Award..for $100,000 for a job in writing,well.

Thank You Thank You Adrienne!!!

Not merely a wonderful and incredibly courageous poet; oh, no. She is also a brilliant and challenging essayist. Most famous for "The Hermit's Scream", her other prose is absolutely startling in its originality and courage. This book is a threat to white males everywhere. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
